Subject: bug#21452: 24.5; conf-mode has no parent
Date: Wed, 9 Sep 2015 23:17:22 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <22000.63042.922805.364655@panix1.panix.com> (raw)
The major mode conf-mode has no parent mode, and does not inherit
anything, because it's not defined with define-derived-mode, just with
defun.
The source file conf-mode.el is in lisp/textmodes, but that seems
wrong. Conf-mode's children edit files that contain software
configuration, not human language. Probably conf-mode should be
derived from prog-mode.
Because of the lack of inheritance, my init file contains this
workaround:
;; show trailing whitespace (GNU 21)
;;for programming language modes and text modes, but not special modes
;;(dired, shell, etc.)
;;The minor mode whitespace-mode can do this now, but I haven't converted.
(if (not (featurep 'xemacs))
(let ((tmp '(lambda () (setq show-trailing-whitespace t))))
;;use major mode inheritance to do this for these and their descendants
(add-hook 'prog-mode-hook tmp)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook tmp)
;;bug: conf-mode is not derived from any other mode, doesn't inherit
(add-hook 'conf-mode-hook tmp)))
