Exactly. Or any type of background processing, for that matter.

So, if this is a principle, the check for `this-command`, as I proposed

it in a patch,should suffice

This doesn't change the fact that jsonrpc.el's use of `read-only-mode`

should probably be replaced by a simple setting of buffer-read-only,

but it could avoid the change to eglot when it calls `gfm-view-mode`.

Though maybe that change could be there, too.
