Subject: dir-locals.el take precedence over user's mode-hook changes
Date: Wed, 24 Dec 2008 13:31:06 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <jwvvdt9wjuk.fsf-monnier+emacs@gnu.org> (raw)
It seems that the dir-local.el settings are applied after the major mode
hook has been run.
That makes it pretty impossible for the user to override them, which is
problematic (I noticed it because I use a tab-width of 4 in my (Emacs)
ChangeLog files and now tab-width is back to 8).
I guess it's the same problem as the one of setting file-local
variables, but for directories it's even worse. We should provide some
way to override those settings.
Currently, I add a hook to hack-local-variables-hook from within my
mode-hook, which works but isn't the most obvious. So we should at
least document this workaround. Maybe we should also provide
an option inhibit-file-local-variables which contains a list of
variables that hack-local-variables would have to ignore.
