Subject: fundamental mode uses?
Date: Tue, 23 Mar 2010 12:34:38 -0700 (PDT) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <05ad24c7-51d0-4345-8705-126bd6956afb@u9g2000yqb.googlegroups.com> (raw)
Just a curiosity: As a relative newcomer to Emacs, I'm wondering if
anyone ever actually uses Fundamental mode in the course of their
work? My impression from reading the literature is that it's kind of a
"baseline" mode that contains the functions, bindings, variables,
etc., in their default form. But I couldn't find anything in the
manual related to possible/appropriate uses of this mode. It seems
like there's a specialized mode to cover all the main programming and
markup languages, plus your basic text and word-processing modes, so
when, if ever, would you use Fundamental mode?
Thanks,
Jeffery
