The same command removes line numbers when applied again (it's a toggle). I want the default action to be to show line numbers. I've tried this hook: (setq ada-mode-hook 'lambda () 'linum)) That was just a guess at how the hook should be composed. It didn't work. I also tried: (setq ada-mode-hook 'lambda () linum)) ..and.. (setq ada-mode-hook 'lambda () (linum))) ..and.. (setq ada-mode-hook 'linum)) There are never any errors, but the hooks simply do not trigger. Each of these has too many closing parentheses.
