List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , Errors-To: emacs-devel-bounces+ged-emacs-devel=m.gmane-mx.org@gnu.org Original-Sender: "Emacs-devel" Xref: news.gmane.io gmane.emacs.devel:289582 Archived-At: Hello hackers, I am quite a new user of GNU-Emacs, but even while using this fantastic tool-for-life for such a short span I have felt a need for a feature which I pretty much see in various other free software, i.e., local configuration files. I will elaborate. =46or example while using git, I can have local .gitconfig files which have different configurations per directory, but I can have in the home directory with the default settings. I wanted to ask if it is possible to implement such a feature for GNU-Emacs which will enable the user to have different settings in different directories (including all the sub-directories which don't override that setting), e.g., In a structure like: =2E =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 abcd =E2=94=82 =E2=94=94=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 pqrs =E2=94=82 =E2=94=94=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 .emacs # Applies to pqrs/ = only =E2=94=9C=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 efgh =E2=94=94=E2=94=80=E2=94=80 .emacs # Applies to abcd/ and efgh/ I would love to see a feature which will make GNU-Emacs buffers follow the respective .emacs files like demonstrated in the comments and all files outside abcd/ using the default .emacs (found at ~/). This might be particularly helpful for dividing the workflow, e.g., I might have different directories, for say, latex/, lisp/, c/, text/ which have different settings. Is this achievable? Best, =E0=A4=A8=E0=A4=BF=E0=A4=B0=E0=A4=82=E0=A4=9C=E0=A4=A8
