flymake-cursor.el

NOTE: This project is no longer actively maintained, please consider https://github.com/flycheck/flycheck instead.

This project is a plugin for Emacs to work in conjunction with flymake.el it displays any flymake error for the current line on the minibuffer.

The project is a fork of http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/flymake-cursor.el

It adds the following features:

• Customizable delay before the error appears in the minibuffer.
• Customizable number of errors to display in the minibuffer.
• Does not overwrite the minibuffer if it's currently in use for user input.
• Updates message area more consistently as flymake changes state.
• Turns off when flymake-mode is turned off.
• Now operates as a minor-mode of its own so you can turn on and off directly.
• Requires flymake, ensuring a clean byte-compile.
