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.

####Package Manager This package is available on MELPA and MELPA Stable, so you can

M-x package-install flymake-cursor

####Self installation Place flymake-cursor.el within your Emacs load-path and the following to your .emacs file or your init.el:

(eval-after-load 'flymake '(require 'flymake-cursor))

You can customize the behaviour of flymake-cursor.el with the flymake-cursor group in customize mode, or you can edit the following custom variables directly:

• flymake-cursor-error-display-delay sets the delay before an error is displayed in the minibuffer.
• flymake-cursor-number-of-errors-to-display sets how many errors to display in the minibuffer at once.
• flymake-cursor-auto-enable sets whether flymake-cursor should automatically enable itself whenever flymake is enabled.

• None currently.
