ruby-electric.el

Due credit: this work was inspired by a code snippet posted by Frederick Ros at http://rubygarden.org/ruby?EmacsExtensions.

Following improvements were added:

• handling of strings of type ‘here document’
• more keywords, with special handling for ‘do’
• packaged into a minor mode

Usage:

1. copy ruby-electric.el into directory where emacs can find it.
2. modify your startup file (.emacs or whatever) by adding following line:

   (require ‘ruby-electric)

3. toggle Ruby Electric Mode on/off with ruby-electric-mode.

Changelog:

2005/Jan/14: inserts matching pair delimiters like {, [, (, ‘, “, ’ and | .

2005/Jan/14: added basic Custom support for configuring keywords with electric closing.

2005/Jan/18: more Custom support for configuring characters for which matching expansion should occur.

2005/Jan/18: no longer uses ‘looking-back’ or regexp character classes like [:space:] since they are not implemented on XEmacs.

2005/Feb/01: explicitly provide default argument of 1 to ‘backward-word’ as it requires it on Emacs 21.3

2005/Mar/06: now stored inside ruby CVS; customize pages now have ruby as parent; cosmetic fixes.
