Subject: Calling another major mode in a major mode body
Date: Mon, 21 Nov 2022 14:07:27 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1263D369-330F-4624-A376-ECC1E1A26A52@gmail.com> (raw)

Sometimes it would be nice for the tree-sitter mode to fallback to the non-tree-sitter mode, eg, when the buffer is to large. Sh-mode needs something similar, too, because tree-sitter only supports bash right now. If the shell is some other shell, the tree-sitter mode should fall back to the normal sh-mode.

Fallback in the above two cases are necessary because users can’t easily avoid them: currently there is no easy way to make Emacs use different major modes based on file size, or shell type. (You could use magic-mode-alist for shell, but that’s not TRT, I think)

So I wonder if it’s ok to fall back to another major mode by simply calling that mode.

Yuan
