Subject: text modes vs. programming language modes
Date: Tue, 22 Aug 2006 09:38:50 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ecf8bi$c35$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)
Is there a reliable way to determine whether the current major mode
is a text mode vs. a programming language mode? For example, do all
text modes use a keymap that inherits from text-mode-map or a syntax
table that inherits from text-mode-syntax-table?
I suspect not, so I'm thinking of using something like:
(defun major-mode-type ()
(let ((lisp-directory (expand-file-name "../lisp" data-directory))
(mode-directory (directory-file-name
(file-name-directory
(symbol-file major-mode 'defun)))))
(and (not (equal lisp-directory mode-directory))
(file-relative-name mode-directory lisp-directory))))
which e.g. returns nil for dired-mode and Info-mode, "textmodes" for
text-mode and sgml-mode, and "progmodes" for java-mode and sql-mode.
