Tracking

tracking.el, a buffer tracking library

tracking.el provides a way for different modes to notify the user that a buffer needs attention. Lui (and Circe) use this for buffers that had activity. The user then can cycle through them using C-c C-SPC.

Using a single library means many different modes and coexist happily with a single user interface.

Mode Line Support

The string variable tracking-mode-line-buffers should be added to your mode line to show which IRC channels have seen updates. This happens by default, but if you heavily customize your mode line, you might lose it.

Programmer Usage

The interface functions are:

• tracking-mode, a global minor mode that should be enabled when tracking.el is used at all.
• tracking-add-buffer, a function to mark a buffer as needing attention.
