Could you make it customizable? It is already an option for text-mode-hook, like turn-on-auto-fill is. turn-on-auto-fill is a function, not an option, so I am confused and not sure what you meant to say. It is very conceptually very similar to auto-fill-mode as it only makes sense in text-mode derivatives. Auto Fill mode can be used in programming language modes; it is not for Text mode derivatives only. Maybe Flyspell mode makes sense in some other modes, too. But you are right that they are similar cases and both mainly used in text modes. So I think the Options menu should probably have an item that controls use of Flyspell mode in Text derivatives, just as it has one that controls use of Auto Full in Text derivatives. Hmm.. Should toggle-text-mode-auto-fill be made a customize option? And maybe rename it to global-auto-fill-mode? It could be implemented with custom :get and :set methods. Maybe, but I wonder: is it possible to provide a more general customization facility for controlling minor mode enablement in various major modes? That might provide a very clean way to customize where you do or don't want Auto Fill, or Flyspell, or whatever. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
