Please CC me, if you reply to this. You could use dynamic syntax-tables via font-lock. (add-hook 'text-mode-hook (lambda nil (set (make-variable-buffer-local 'parse-sexp-lookup-properties) t) ;; get font-lock started (unless font-lock-defaults (setq font-lock-defaults '(nil t))) (add-to-list (make-variable-buffer-local 'font-lock-syntactic-keywords) ;; let ! between 2*a have word syntax '("a\\(!\\)a" 1 "w")))) Replace `a' and `!' with your characters and it'll work, hopefully. -ap
