  @cindex speedbar
  
!   The @dfn{Speedbar} is a special frame that is used to summarize
! information related to other buffers.  Normally, it displays a menu of
! files you could visit and tags within those files.  Type @kbd{M-x
! speedbar} to enable the speedbar and associate it with the current
! frame (which is called the speedbar's @dfn{attached frame}).
  
!   Currently, only one speedbar is supported at a time.  To dismiss the
! speedbar, select it and type @kbd{q} or @kbd{M-x speedbar}, or delete
! the frame or window normally.  You can then attach the speedbar to a
! different frame by calling @kbd{M-x speedbar} from that frame.
  
!   When you initially launch the speedbar, it starts in @dfn{File
! Display Mode}, showing the current directory of the selected window of
! the attached frame, one file per line.  Clicking on a file name visits
! that file in the attached frame, and clicking on a directory name
! shows that directory in the speedbar (@pxref{Mouse References}).  Each
! line also has a box, @samp{[+]} or @samp{<+>}, that you can click on
! to @dfn{expand} the contents of that item.  Expanding a directory adds
! the contents of that directory to the speedbar display, underneath the
! directory's own line.  Expanding an ordinary file adds a list of the
! tags in that file to the speedbar display; you can click on a tag name
! to jump to that tag in the attached frame.  When a file or directory
! is expanded, the @samp{[+]} changes to @samp{[-]}; you can click on
! that box to @dfn{contract} the item, hiding its contents.
  
!   You can also use the keyboard to navigate the speedbar.  Typing
! @kbd{RET} is equivalent to clicking the item on the current line, and
! @kbd{SPC} expands or contracts the item.  @kbd{U} displays the parent
! directory of the current directory.  To copy, delete, or rename the
! file on the current line, type @kbd{C}, @kbd{D}, and @kbd{R}
! respectively.  To create a new directory, type @kbd{M}.
  
!   The speedbar is not limited to showing files.  Type @kbd{b} to enter
! @dfn{Buffer Display Mode}, in which the speedbar displays a list of
! Emacs buffers.  To return to File Display Mode, type @kbd{f}.  You can
! also change the display mode by clicking @kbd{mouse-3} anywhere in the
! speedbar window (or @kbd{mouse-1} on the mode-line) and selecting
! @samp{Displays} in the pop-up menu.
  
    Some major modes, including Rmail mode, Info, and GUD, have

  @node Speedbar
! @section Speedbar Frames
  @cindex speedbar
  
! @cindex attached frame (of speedbar)
!   The @dfn{speedbar} is a special frame for conveniently navigating in
! or operating on another frame.  The speedbar, when it exists, is
! always associated with a specific frame, called its @dfn{attached
! frame}; all speedbar operations act on that frame.
  
!   Type @kbd{M-x speedbar} to create the speedbar and associate it with
! the current frame.  To dismiss the speedbar, select it and type
! @kbd{q} or @kbd{M-x speedbar}.  (You can also delete the speedbar
! frame like any other Emacs frame.)  You can then attach the speedbar
! to a different frame by typing @kbd{M-x speedbar} in that frame.
! @c ??? If the speedbar is active, and I type M-x speedbar in another
! @c frame, does that attach the speedbar to that other frame?
! @c If not, it should!  -- rms
  
! @c ??? When you visit a file in this way, does it appear
! in the selected window?  In a new window in the same frame? -- rms
!   The speedbar can operate in various modes.  Its default mode is
! @dfn{File Display} mode, which shows the files in the current
! directory of the selected window of the attached frame, one file per
! line.  Clicking on a file name visits that file in the attached frame,
! and clicking on a directory name shows that directory in the speedbar
! (@pxref{Mouse References}).  Each line also has a box, @samp{[+]} or
! @samp{<+>}, that you can click on to @dfn{expand} the contents of that
! item.  Expanding a directory adds the contents of that directory to
! the speedbar display, underneath the directory's own line.  Expanding
! an ordinary file adds a list of the tags in that file to the speedbar
! display; you can click on a tag name to jump to that tag in the
! attached frame.  When a file or directory is expanded, the @samp{[+]}
! changes to @samp{[-]}; you can click on that box to @dfn{contract} the
! item, hiding its contents.
  
!   You navigate through the speedbar using the keyboard, too.  Typing
! @kbd{RET} while point is on a line in the speedbar is equivalent to
! clicking the item on the current line, and @kbd{SPC} expands or
! contracts the item.  @kbd{U} displays the parent directory of the
! current directory.  To copy, delete, or rename the file on the current
! line, type @kbd{C}, @kbd{D}, and @kbd{R} respectively.  To create a
! new directory, type @kbd{M}.
  
!   Another general-purpose speedbar mode is @dfn{Buffer Display} mode;
! in this mode, the speedbar displays a list of Emacs buffers.  To
! switch to this mode, type @kbd{b} in the speedbar.  To return to File
! Display mode, type @kbd{f}.  You can also change the display mode by
! clicking @kbd{mouse-3} anywhere in the speedbar window (or
! @kbd{mouse-1} on the mode-line) and selecting @samp{Displays} in the
! pop-up menu.
