Subject: auto-mode-alist for minor modes?
Date: Thu, 11 Sep 2003 00:23:36 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <bf2dnXIT7dpSm_2iRTvUqQ@texas.net> (raw)
Though the naming for the auto-mode-alist variable is
neutral, the documentation for auto-mode-alist only
talks about _major_ modes. I would like to use it to
invoke a _minor_ mode when a file with a given
extension is loaded. I have tried this, and it seems
to work. Is there some subtle way I am going to get
myself in trouble doing this?
It seems to me that set-auto-mode does not know
whether the function associated with the extension is
a major mode starter or a minor mode starter. It is
just going to call it once the buffer is set up. That
is all I want. But I know there are numerous
potential 'gotchas' in emacs, so I seek reassurance
or, if necessary, correction.
Regards,
David V.
