Re: switch off font lock mode with strings

[Xah <xahlee@gmail.com>]

here's the tested code:

(defun toggle-awk-sh-modes ()
  "toggles between awk-mode and sh-mode."
  (interactive)
  (let ((switched-p nil))
    (when (equal mode-name "AWK/l") (sh-mode) (setq switched-p t))
    (if (and (equal mode-name "Shell-script") (not switched-p)) (awk-
mode)
      (sh-mode))
    )
  )

(global-set-key (kbd "<F6>") 'toggle-awk-sh-modes)
