If the file content's first line starts with “#!”, then you could use the magic-mode-alist. ----------------------------------- How Emacs Choose Modes Emacs determines what mode to use primarily by 2 mechanisms, in order: (1) Check the first line in the file, using “magic-mode-alist”. (2) Check the file name's suffix, using “auto-mode-alist”. The “magic-mode-alist” is a list that emacs use to match the first line of a file with a mode. For example, if you want files that begin with the line “<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 ...” to always use nxml-mode, then add the following to your “.emacs”: (add-to-list 'magic-mode-alist '("<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0" . nxml-mode)) The magic-mode-alist is a list. In the above example, the string with the “DOCTYPE” is a regex, used to match the first line of a file. If emacs goes thru magic-mode-alist and didn't find any match, then it'll use auto-mode-alist to check on file name suffix. The “auto-mode- alist” associates a file name suffix with a mode. For example, if you want files ending in “.js” to always open with js2-mode, then do: (add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.js\\'" . js2-mode)) Note: The double backslash in the string “\\.js\\'” is used to escape the backslash. So, the regex engine just got “\.js\'”. The “\.” is to match a period. The “\'” is one of emacs special regex syntax, to match end of a string. (See also: Text Pattern Matching in Emacs) Reference: Elisp Manual: Regexp-Backslash. You can see what are the values of magic-mode-alist or auto-mode-alist by typing “Alt+x describe-variable”. There are few minor details about how emacs determines what mode to load, but the above should cover vast majority of needs. For detail, see emacs manual.

The summation sign “∑” in my sig is my and my website signet. in the end of my sig, there's this character “☄” (unicode name “comet”). It is there so that it forces groups.google.com and Apple Mail application into sending the message with unicode encoding. Otherwise, the heuristics'll typically pick Japanese encoding. (in google groups, last i checked about last year there's no way to set encoding. And in Apple Mail 2 years ago, there's no unicode encoding option... it is added now but last i checked there's no preference that can set encoding ... ) My use of curly quotes “ ” or other unicode chars are just convenience and practical need. I have in my emacs various easy ways to type them. The need to quote is for example, seen throughout gnu's docs, but they used a ascii cludge of backtick for left curly single quote and straight quote for right curly single quote, e.g. “`something'”. (quoting is needed for highlighting purporses or to make a phrase's semantic from normal interpretation in the sentence.) Since about 2006, i find emacs's support of unicode very roburst and i have no problem with these and other mathematical chars or chinese in emacs. In general, opensource langs and tools in e.g. linux world has much caught on and support unicode, and i think that is good. (commercial world long ago supported and use these chars in practice (e.g. Apple in early 1990s and Microsoft Windows since about WindowsNT 4 or Windows2000)) The OpenSource world typically has a lag of 5 to 10 years in catching up most desktop techs. Even today, there are still a few cave dwelling tech geekers you'll see occationally complaint about unicode in posts (e.g. Alan M here insists that newsgroup posts should be in ascii only!). But thankfully these days you'll often see others tech geekers follow up chiding about the complainer like “dude, get a proper newsreader” ... You FreeSoftware and OpenSource supporters really should move on and embrace unicode. I have made few suggestions here and elsewhere in the past 2 years including several private exchanges with Richard Stallman, about updating emacs doc (and in general all GNU docs convention) to to use “” and ‘’ in place of painful and ugly and technically problematic and ambiguous ascii kludge `', among few other modernization issues... but in general it's met with extreme difficulty... i've been wanting to file a emacs bug report on this particular issue ... but with so many resistance and my “troll” persona etc ... basically it's very disencouraging ... The problem with `' or ``'' is that: • it's just 1980's ascii kludge to get around the fact there were no matching quotes in ascii. In some technical sense, it's misuse and abuse of symbols. • it's ugly. • it's ambiguous. The straight quote has many meanings, and both straight quote and backtick also has special meanings in elisp lang and in function's inline doc string. • it is not possible to do a syntactical parse. (compare it to quoting with chars that are matching pairs.) If you think there's some merit in this suggestion, please file a bug report.

When having a url in my post, maybe a year ago i used to quote them in a few messages but i quickly stopped that because newsgroup or email apps will parse wrongly as to include the quoting char as part of the link. So, these days i have spaces around any url. I don't think i even quote them with unicode chars, but possibly with parens. like this: ( http://example.com/ ) perhaps you mean something like the following are hard to copy/paste?? • http://example.com/ ... unless there's something in your message i really missed out... please take a look at unicode. It's really here to stay for good. It's in MS Windows NT and decendents from the ground up (i.e. since mid 1990s), it's the base encoding in XML standard and various other protocols and langs (e.g. java), supported by elisp as far as my experience goes better than any other lang in practical sense, and required by law for any comp in china and Chinese sites are some major percentage of the world's web traffic... also if u look at Wikipedia, which is world's top 5 web traffic for 2 or more years, it uses unicode chars liberally ... see also: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GB_18030 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet some quote: «GB18030 can be considered a Unicode Transformation Format (i.e. an encoding of all Unicode code points) that maintains compatibility with a legacy character set.

No, it's actually the file created by fc(1) to edit the bash history. It uses the FCEDIT env variable to launch the editor it going to use. So I'd like to set it to: export FCEDIT="emacs -f sh-mode" so that fc(1) uses emacs as editor in sh-mode directly.

I don't see any obvious ways of doing this, but, you could, if you wanted to, use .bash_history (or the appropriate history-file for your shell) and grep for what you want there? When you set emacs to be the editor, remember that you call emacs with a new file as argument, i.e. if you specify foo as a file, emacs will open *both* foo and the new file from fc. You could, perhaps, add a hook in .emacs as all files created by fc starts with [shell]-fc-<numbers> so basically, I think the question boils down to: """ How do I create a hook in my .emacs so that all files starting with bash-fc-* will load sh-mode?

You can probably write a short wrapper script that is used as $FCEDIT to run the equivalent of: emacs --eval "(setq-default default-major-mode 'sh-mode)" file1 file2 ... That's a bit like "cheating", but it does work.

That's why I suggested a wrapper script. To avoid all the obnoxiously stupid things expansion of $FCEDIT would do, and make sure that there is only *one* level of quoting you would have to use. The parenthesized list quoted above shows that Emacs tried to --eval the expression "\"(setq-default", which isn't a complete Lisp s-exp (and this is what Emacs is trying to say with the error message). Using a shell wrapper makes expansion of the --eval argument much more predictable here, so I tend to prefer that: $ cat > /tmp/fcedit.sh #!/bin/sh emacs --eval "(setq-default default-major-mode 'sh-mode)" "$@" ^D $ chmod 0755 /tmp/fcedit.sh $ export FCEDIT='/tmp/fcedit.sh -nw' $ fc I have a few of these wrappers in my `~/bin' directory, to help me fire up Emacs with a variety of options, i.e.: ~/bin/emacs-no-gui This runs `emacs -nw "$@"'. ~/bin/utf-emacs This sets up LANG, and LC_ALL, clears every other LC_XXX locale variable, and then fires up Emacs in `utf-8 mode'. and so on. I really hate having to fight with backslashes to get everything right in tons of nested quotes, quoted quotes and quoted-quoted quotes ad infinitum, so that's why I like throwing a wrapper here and there :) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 33+ messages in thread

IOW how emacs have been launched? It has been launched with the following command-line arguments: arg[0] = "emacs" arg[1] = "--eval" arg[2] = "\"(setq-default" arg[3] = "default-major-mode" arg[4] = "'sh-mode)\"" arg[5] = "/tmp/bash-fc-247955888988243" The shell that launched $FCEDIT as an editor, looked at its value, saw that it had space characters in it, and split the $FCEDIT value to several separate arguments at every unquoted space. Try firing up Emacs with the following two commands, and look at the *Messages* buffer to spot the difference: emacs -nw "foo" "bar" emacs -nw "foo bar" The first should display: ("emacs" "-nw" "foo" "bar") but the second should display: ("emacs" "-nw" "foo bar") It may be possible to quote FCEDIT's value in some complex manner to achieve the effect of second list, where the s-exp passed to --eval is a single entry in the command-line argument list. Is it worth all the trouble to get it `right'? My own personal preference at this point is to say `No, not really. I can write a shell wrapper, and be done with it in half a minute or so' :-) ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 33+ messages in thread
