Introduction
************
Paced (Predictive Abbreviation Completion and Expansion using
Dictionaries) scans a group of files (determined by “population
commands”) to construct a usage table (dictionary). Words (or symbols)
are sorted by their usage, and may be later presented to the user for
completion. A dictionary can then be saved to a file, to be loaded
later.
Population commands determine how a dictionary should be filled with
words or symbols. A dictionary may have multiple population commands,
and population may be performed asynchronously. Once population is
finished, the contents are sorted, with more commonly used words at the
front. Dictionaries may be edited through EIEIO’s customize-object
interface.
Completion is done through ‘completion-at-point’. The dictionary to
use for completion can be customized.

Similar Packages
================
There are a few Emacs packages that have similar goals to paced, and
provided some of the inspiration and motivation behind it.
* Menu:
* pabbrev::
* predictive::
File: paced.info, Node: pabbrev, Next: predictive, Up: Similar Packages
pabbrev
-------
The pabbrev (https://github.com/phillord/pabbrev) package by Phillip
Lord automatically scans text of the current buffer while Emacs is idle
and presents the user with the most common completions.
One of the major downsides to pabbrev is that the data it collects
doesn’t persist between Emacs sessions. For a few files that are always
open, such as org agenda files, pabbrev works great. If you want to
train it from a few files that aren’t always open, you’ll have to open
each file and retrain pabbrev from that file. And you’ll have to do
this every time you restart Emacs.
It keeps up-to-date usage and prefix hashes of all buffers of the
same mode, and scanning, or “scavenging”, blends seamlessly into the
background. Completion is just a hash table lookup, so it can handle
completion in microseconds. There’s also no setup required; it will
start working right away. The downside to this is that dictionaries
aren’t flexible; each dictionary corresponds to a major mode, and
there’s no way to change that.
File: paced.info, Node: predictive, Prev: pabbrev, Up: Similar Packages
predictive
----------
The predictive (https://www.dr-qubit.org/predictive.html) package by
Toby Cubitt scans text of the current buffer on user command. The usage
data is stored in a dictionary, which can then be saved to a disk.
Extensions are provided to ‘completion-at-point’, or predictive’s
built-in frontend can be used. It has a safety precaution where it only
adds existing words to a dictionary, unless the user allows this. This
is to avoid adding typos to a dictionary.
Completion was also done intelligently, grouping commonly used words
together and optionally suggesting shorter words before longer words.
While the frontend and backend are separate, the frontend is required
to populate a dictionary. There is no way to exclude part of the
buffer’s text from dictionary population. The safety precaution
predictive has where it only adds a word to a dictionary if it already
exists was tedious, since I didn’t need it to do that.
File: paced.info, Node: Installation, Next: Basic Setup, Prev: Similar Packages, Up: Introduction
Installation
============
*Requirements*
Emacs 25.1
async 1.9.1
Paced may be installed from source, or from GNU ELPA.
From ELPA:
M-x package-install RET paced RET
From Source:
bzr branch https://bzr.savannah.gnu.org/r/paced-el paced
After installing from source, add the following to your init file
(typically .emacs):
(add-to-list 'load-path "/full/path/to/paced/")
(require 'paced)
However you install paced, you must also make sure dictionaries are
loaded on startup:
(paced-load-all-dictionaries)
File: paced.info, Node: Basic Setup, Prev: Installation, Up: Introduction
Basic Setup
===========
Paced needn’t have a lot of setup to run. In fact, the simplest setup
is as follows:
1. Create a new dictionary, “Default” (See *note Creating a
Dictionary::)
2. Set ‘paced-global-dictionary-enable-alist’ to ‘((t . "Default"))’
(See *note Selective Dictionaries::)
3. Run ‘M-x global-paced-mode’
4. To add a file to the dictionary, use ‘M-x
paced-add-buffer-file-to-dictionary’
This will create a default dictionary and populate it from buffers
you specify.

Creating a Dictionary
=====================
Now that you’ve got paced installed, it’s time to create a new
dictionary.
M-x paced-create-new-dictionary RET DICTIONARY_NAME RET DICTIONARY_FILE RET
Let’s explain those two arguments:
First, you’ve got DICTIONARY_NAME. This is a string that will be used
to reference the new dictionary. We recommend something short, like
’new-dict’, ’my-dict’, ’writing’, etc.
Next is the file where the dictionary will be stored. This is
typically stored in ‘paced-dictionary-directory’, from which all
dictionaries will be loaded with ‘paced-load-all-dictionaries’ (more on
that later). For now, it’s important to know that
‘paced-load-all-dictionaries’ is the easiest way to load dictionaries
when paced is loaded.
After you’ve run the above command, you will be taken to the
customization buffer. This is where you can set population commands.
File: paced.info, Node: Editing a Dictionary, Next: Selective Dictionaries, Prev: Creating a Dictionary, Up: Dictionaries
Editing a Dictionary
====================
In order to edit a dictionary, paced provides
‘paced-edit-named-dictionary’ and ‘paced-edit-current-dictionary’.
The edit buffer provides the options to change the population
commands, case handling, dictionary storage name, and sort method. Each
of these is documented in the edit buffer.
File: paced.info, Node: Selective Dictionaries, Next: Dictionary Files, Prev: Editing a Dictionary, Up: Dictionaries
Selective Dictionaries
======================
Paced provides a mechanism called the “enable list”, that allows a user
to enable certain dictionaries for completion given certain conditions.
There are two enable lists: a global
(‘paced-global-dictionary-enable-alist’) and local
(‘paced-local-dictionary-enable-alist’) one. They both work the same,
with the local one taking precedence. Each entry in the list has a
condition and a key.
The conditions are one of the following:
• A mode name, such as ‘org-mode’ or ‘text-mode’, indicating that the
named dictionary should be active in any mode derived from that
mode.
• A symbol, in which case the named dictionary is active whenever the
value of that symbol is non-nil. This includes the symbol ‘t’.
• A function symbol, in which case the function is called with no
arguments to determine if the given dictionary should be enabled.
If the function returns non-nil the dictionary is enabled.
• A lambda function, in which case it is called with no arguments,
and if it returns non-nil, the dictionary is enabled.
• The form (or CONDITION1 CONDITION2 ...), which enables the given
dictionary if any of the conditions are met.
• The form (and CONDITION1 CONDITION2 ...), which enables the given
dictionary if all of the conditions are met.
Remember that paced-mode must be active for completion to occur.
Neither list will activate it, just determine which dictionary is
active.
The key is the dictionary name you set during dictionary creation.
File: paced.info, Node: Dictionary Files, Next: Printing a Dictionary, Prev: Selective Dictionaries, Up: Dictionaries
Dictionary Files
================
Paced provides ‘paced-load-all-dictionaries’ to load all dictionaries in
‘paced-dictionary-directory’. Paced determines which dictionaries to
load based on two variables:
‘paced-dictionary-directory-whitelist-regexp’ and
‘paced-dictionary-directory-blacklist-regexp’. Paced can also be told
to search recursively by setting
‘paced-load-all-dictionaries-recursively’ to t. All four of these
variables may be set using Emacs’s customization interface.
An individual dictionary file may also be loaded:
M-x paced-load-dictionary-from-file RET /path/to/file RET
Once a file has been modified, it may then be saved:
M-x paced-save-named-dictionary RET dictionary name RET
Or, all dictionaries may be saved:
M-x paced-save-all-dictionaries RET
Dictionaries may also be automatically saved whenever changed by
setting ‘paced-repopulate-saves-dictionary’ to t. Population is covered
in the next section.
File: paced.info, Node: Printing a Dictionary, Prev: Dictionary Files, Up: Dictionaries
Printing a Dictionary
=====================
Paced allows a user to print the contents of a dictionary to a buffer.
Uses for this might be to tweak population commands or exclude
functions, or to simply make sure a dictionary is populating correctly.
To use this feature, run:
M-x paced-print-named-dictionary RET NAME-OF-DICTIONARY RET
Or for the current dictionary:
M-x paced-print-current-dictionary RET
File: paced.info, Node: Population Commands, Next: Example Setups, Prev: Dictionaries, Up: Top
Population Commands
*******************
Part of the beauty of paced is the ease of reconstructing a dictionary.
When you’ve got a bunch of files from which you want to populate your
dictionary, it’d be a pain to go to each of them and say “populate from
this one, next, populate from this one, next”.
Instead, paced provides population commands. Each dictionary has one
or more population commands it uses to recreate its contents, run in
order during population.
In order to trigger population, run the following:
M-x paced-repopulate-named-dictionary RET DICTIONARY-NAME RET
* Menu:
* Built-in Commands:: Basics
* Properties:: Tweaking the defaults
* Custom Commands:: Defining new population commands
* Asynchronous Population:: Populating without blocking
File: paced.info, Node: Built-in Commands, Next: Properties, Up: Population Commands
Built-in Commands
=================
There are five built-in population commands:
file
Populates a dictionary from all words in a given file
buffer
Populates a dictionary from all words in a given buffer, which must
exist during population
file-function
Like the file command, but allows a custom setup function. This
function is called with no arguments in a temporary buffer
containing the file’s contents, and must return non-nil if
population may continue.
directory-regexp
Populates from all files in a directory that match the given
regexp. Also optionally allows recursion.
file-list
Populates from all files returned by a generator function.
File: paced.info, Node: Properties, Next: Custom Commands, Prev: Built-in Commands, Up: Population Commands
Properties
==========
When setting the population commands of a dictionary, one may also set
certain properties. Each property is a variable binding, bound while
the population command runs.
A few variables are of note here:
paced-exclude-function
Function of no arguments that returns non-nil if the thing at point
should be excluded from population.
paced-thing-at-point-constituent
Symbol defining thing on which population works. Typically set to
either ’symbol or ’word.
paced-character-limit
Maximum length of a thing to include it in a dictionary. If set to
0 (default), no limit is imposed.
For convenience, properties that are intended for all population
commands of a given dictionary may be set in the dictionary itself. In
the event of a conflict, population command properties take precedence
over dictionary properties.
File: paced.info, Node: Custom Commands, Next: Asynchronous Population, Prev: Properties, Up: Population Commands
Custom Commands
===============
Since the population commands all derive from paced-population-command,
it’s possible to add additional commands.
As an example, let’s make a population command that populates a
dictionary from a file like so:
alpha 5
beta 7
gamma 21
delta 54
epsilon 2
We want to make a population command that takes a file like this,
with word in one column and weight in the other, and add it to a
dictionary.
There are two ways to approach this, but we’re going to start with
the basic one.
We need to define two functions: paced-population-command-source-list
and paced-population-command-setup-buffer. The first returns a list of
sources from which to populate, and the second sets up a temporary
buffer based on those sources.
For our command, we want to return the specified file, and replicate
each word by the amount given.
Inheriting from ‘paced-file-population-command’ gives us the source
list and file slot for free.
(defclass paced-weight-file-population-command (paced-file-population-command))
Now, we need to set up the buffer to replicate the words.
(cl-defmethod paced-population-command-setup-buffer ((cmd paced-weight-file-population-command) source)
;; Use the built-in `paced--insert-file-contents' to insert contents.
(paced--insert-file-contents source)
;; Jump to the start of the buffer
(goto-char (point-min))
;; Search for lines with the form WORD WEIGHT
(while (re-search-forward (rx line-start ;; Start of line
(submatch (one-or-more (not (syntax whitespace)))) ;; Our word
(syntax whitespace) ;; Space between word and weight
(submatch (one-or-more (any digit))) ;; Weight
line-end) ;; End of line
nil t)
(let* ((word (match-string 1))
(weight (string-to-number (match-string 2)))
;; Repeat WORD WEIGHT times
(new-text (string-join (make-list weight word) " ")))
;; Replace the matched text with our repeated word
(replace-match new-text))))
That’s all there is to it. When you go to edit a dictionary, the
“weight-file” population command will automatically be added as an
option for a population command.
The even easier way to do this would’ve been to use
‘paced-file-function-population-command’, but it doesn’t make for a good
example in this case.
File: paced.info, Node: Asynchronous Population, Prev: Custom Commands, Up: Population Commands
Asynchronous Population
=======================
A common problem is that population can take a long time. Some of us
populate dictionaries from org agenda files, which can get pretty big.
To solve this, paced uses the async
(https://github.com/jwiegley/emacs-async) package. Setup is seamless;
just stick whatever code you need in ‘~/.emacs.d/paced-async.el’, and
use one of the two population commands:
A named dictionary:
M-x paced-repopulate-named-dictionary-async RET NAME RET
Or the current dictionary:
M-x paced-repopulate-current-dictionary-async RET
A few things to note about this:
1. Dictionaries will be automatically saved by this method after
population
2. Asynchronous population doesn’t change anything until after
population is finished, so a user may continue to use their
dictionary while population is happening. This also means that
multiple populations may run in parallel without interfering with
one another.
3. Because async runs population in a separate Emacs process, any
custom code required for population must be in paced-async.el.
This includes additional population command types, but doesn’t
include the following variables:
• load-path
• paced-thing-at-point-constituent
• paced-async-load-file

File: paced.info, Node: Org Agenda Files, Next: Project Files, Up: Example Setups
Org Agenda Files
================
As some of us record everything about our lives in our agenda files, it
might be helpful to have a dictionary tuned to ourselves.
We use a file-list command that returns the agenda files, and an
exclude command to block out all of Org’s extra features such as source
code and drawers.
The generator for file-list is easy:
org-agenda-files
Done.
Now, the exclude command, which sits inside the properties option.
This can be added to ‘paced-async.el’:
(require 'org)
(defun org-at-tag-p ()
(let* ((p (point)))
;; Ignore errors from `org-get-tags-string'.
(ignore-errors
;; Checks the match string for a tag heading, setting match-string 1 to the
;; tags. Also sets match-beginning and match-end.
(org-get-tags-string)
(when (match-string 1)
(<= (match-beginning 1) p (match-end 1))))))
(defun org-at-keyword-p ()
"Return non-nil if point is at a keyword such as #+TITLE."
(save-excursion
(beginning-of-line)
(looking-at-p "^#\\+")))
(defun org-at-heading-prefix-p ()
"Return non-nil if looking at the leading stars of a heading."
(looking-at outline-regexp))
(defun org-at-hline-p ()
(save-excursion
(beginning-of-line)
(looking-at-p "^-----")))
(defun org-paced-exclude ()
(or
;; Drawers
(org-between-regexps-p org-drawer-regexp ":END:") ;; Doesn't catch END
(org-in-regexp ":END:") ;; but this does
(org-at-tag-p) ;; tags
(org-at-keyword-p) ;; Keywords, such as #+TITLE
(org-at-heading-prefix-p) ;; Leading stars of a heading
(org-at-item-bullet-p) ;; Item Bullets
(org-at-timestamp-p) ;; Timestamps
(looking-at-p org-todo-regexp) ;; TODO keywords
(org-at-hline-p) ;; H-lines
(org-at-comment-p) ;; comments
(org-in-regexp org-any-link-re) ;; links
(org-in-block-p '("src" "quote" "verse")) ;; blocks
(org-at-planning-p) ;; deadline, etc.
(org-at-table-p) ;; tables
))
As explained earlier, this can be put inside properties in the
customize buffer as such:
Properties :
[INS] [DEL] Variable: paced-exclude-function
Lisp expression: 'org-paced-exclude
And you’re done. See how easy that was?
File: paced.info, Node: Project Files, Next: Markdown Files, Prev: Org Agenda Files, Up: Example Setups
Project Files
=============
Now we get to the interesting one. There are tons of ways to collect
project files in Emacs, so we’re going to stick with one for now, being
Emacs’s built-in VC package.
(defun vc-paced-find-project-files (path-to-project-root)
"Use VC to collect all version-controlled files."
(let ((file-list))
(vc-file-tree-walk path-to-project-root (lambda (f) (push f file-list)))
file-list))
We’d then need to use the following for our file-list generator:
Generator : (lambda nil (vc-paced-find-project-files "/home/me/programming/paced"))
Now, we (probably) don’t want commented code to get in our way, so
we’ll use a small function for excluding those:
(defun paced-at-comment-p ()
(nth 8 (syntax-ppss)))
Use that for paced-exclude-function, and you’re done. We can’t
necessarily recommend this for any programming language, as there are
dedicated solutions for almost everything, but it makes an excellent
fallback.
File: paced.info, Node: Markdown Files, Next: Repopulating Dictionary After Saving, Prev: Project Files, Up: Example Setups
Markdown Files
==============
Another common request is markdown files. In order for this to work,
you’ll need to install ‘markdown-mode’:
M-x package-install RET markdown-mode RET
After that, add the following to your ‘paced-async.el’ file:
(require 'markdown-mode)
(defun paced-markdown-exclude-p ()
"Taken from `markdown-flyspell-check-word-p'."
;; Exclude anything markdown mode thinks flyspell should skip.
(or
;; Ignore code blocks
(markdown-code-block-at-point-p)
(markdown-inline-code-at-point-p)
;; Ignore comments
(markdown-in-comment-p)
;; Ignore special text
(let ((faces (get-text-property (point) 'face)))
(if (listp faces)
(or (memq 'markdown-reference-face faces)
(memq 'markdown-markup-face faces)
(memq 'markdown-plain-url-face faces)
(memq 'markdown-inline-code-face faces)
(memq 'markdown-url-face faces))
(memq faces '(markdown-reference-face
markdown-markup-face
markdown-plain-url-face
markdown-inline-code-face
markdown-url-face))))))
That excludes anything that the developers of markdown-mode felt
should be excluded from flyspell.
Set this as your exclude function in your dictionary’s settings, then
add each markdown file by hand.
File: paced.info, Node: Repopulating Dictionary After Saving, Next: Repopulating Dictionary After Spellchecking the Buffer, Prev: Markdown Files, Up: Example Setups
Repopulating Dictionary After Saving
====================================
This is a common request, although with the power of async, it’s an easy
one to fulfill. This will repopulate the current buffer’s dictionary
every time you save a file with a dictionary. This may seem daunting,
but the dictionary will remain usable during population, and multiple
populations won’t interfere with one another.
;; Repopulate the current dictionary after saving
(add-hook 'after-save-hook 'paced-repopulate-current-dictionary-async)
Add that to your .emacs file, and paced will take it from there.
If you decide that’s too much, do the following:
M-: (remove-hook 'after-save-hook 'paced-repopulate-current-dictionary-async) RET
File: paced.info, Node: Repopulating Dictionary After Spellchecking the Buffer, Prev: Repopulating Dictionary After Saving, Up: Example Setups
Repopulating Dictionary After Spellchecking the Buffer
======================================================
Another request, although much trickier to do. This one involves using
Emacs’s advice mechanism:
(define-advice ispell-pdict-save (:after (&optional _no-query _force-save) paced-populate)
;; Repopulate the current dictionary after running spell check
(paced-repopulate-current-dictionary-async))
If you decide this isn’t for you, do the following to revert the
changes:
M-: (advice-remove #'ispell-pdict-save #'ispell-pdict-save@paced-populate) RET

====
There are two ways to submit bug reports:
1. Using the bug tracker at Savannah
2. Sending an email using ‘paced-submit-bug-report’
When submitting a bug report, be sure to include a description of the
dictionary or population command that caused the problem, with as much
detail as possible.
File: paced.info, Node: Development, Next: Documentation, Prev: Bugs, Up: Contributing
Development
===========
If you’re new to bazaar, we recommend using Emacs’s built-in VC package.
It eases the overhead of dealing with a brand new VCS with a few
standard commands. For more information, see the info page on it (In
Emacs, this is C-h r m Introduction to VC RET).
To contribute with bazaar, you can do the following:
# Hack away and make your changes
$ bzr commit -m "Changes I've made"
$ bzr send -o file-name.txt
Then, use ‘paced-submit-bug-report’ and attach “file-name.txt”. We
can then merge that into the main development branch.
There are a few rules to follow:
• New population commands should be named
paced-POPULATION-COMMAND-TYPE-population-command
• Run ’make check’ to verify that your mods don’t break anything
• Avoid additional or altered dependencies if at all possible
• Dictionary commands come in threes (“the operation triad”):
1. paced-dictionary-OPERATION, a cl-defmethod which performs
OPERATION on a dictionary
2. paced-OPERATION-on-named-dictionary, an interactive only
function that prompts for a dictionary name and performs
OPERATION on that dictionary:
(interactive (list (paced-read-dictionary)))
(paced-ensure-registered name)
(paced-dictionary-OPERATION (paced-named-dictionary name))
3. paced-OPERATION-on-current-dictionary, an interactive function
that performs OPERATION on the current dictionary
(interactive)
(paced-dictionary-OPERATION (paced-current-dictionary-or-die))
File: paced.info, Node: Documentation, Next: Working with EDE, Prev: Development, Up: Contributing
Documentation
=============
Documentation is always helpful to us. Please be sure to do the
following after making any changes:
1. Update the info page in the repository with ‘C-c C-e i i’
2. If you’re updating the HTML documentation, switch to a theme that
can easily be read on a white background; we recommend the
“adwaita” theme
File: paced.info, Node: Working with EDE, Prev: Documentation, Up: Contributing
Working with EDE
================
EDE can be a little finicky at times, but we feel the benefits, namely
package dependency handling and Makefile generation, outweigh the costs.
One of the issues that many will likely encounter is the error
“Corrupt file on disk”. This is most often due to EDE not loading all
its subprojects as needed. If you find yourself dealing with this error
often, place the following in your .emacs file:
;; Target types needed for working with paced
(require 'ede/proj-elisp)
(require 'ede/proj-aux)
(require 'ede/proj-misc)
These are the three target types that paced uses: elisp for
compilation and autoloads; aux for auxiliary files such as
documentation; and misc for tests.
When creating a new file, EDE will ask if you want to add it to a
target. Consult with one of the paced devs for guidance, but usually
selecting “none” and letting one of us handle it is a good way to go.
