Here's my attempt: (defvar tax-imenu-generic-expression '((nil "^\\s-+(\"\\(w+\\)\"" 1))) (define-derived-mode tax-mode scheme-mode "major mode for handling tax files" (make-local-variable 'imenu-generic-expression) (make-local-variable 'imenu-case-fold-search) (setq imenu-generic-expression tax-imenu-generic-expression imenu-case-fold-search nil)) (provide 'tax-mode) This does the right thing with font-locking, but I can't get it to list the tax names as a buffer index (seems like semantic is still using the scheme-imenu-generic-expression). I'm very new to elisp, so I'm struggling even in figuring out how to debug this. Any suggestions?
