There is probably some global way to set it ALWAYS but...<br><br>I define a lambda function that I hook in for all my major modes and then put all the stuff I want turned on in it i.e. the following is typical of what I have in my .emacs<br>
<br>(add-hook &#39;ada-mode-hook<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (lambda ()<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ;; add your customizations here... this can set <br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; ;; variables, turn on minor modes, etc.<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (tmmofl-mode)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (show-paren-mode)<br>
&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (else-mode)<br>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (setq else-follow-menus nil)))<br><br>Since I only ever look at a limited set of file types i.e. major modes, this has worked perfectly well for me.<br><br>Peter<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">

Some modes like Auto Fill mode only get turned on for a specific<br>
buffer.<br>
When you change buffers you are NOT in Auto Fill mode anymore!<br>
<br>
How turn on a mode ALWAYS?<br>
<br>
This works but I wonder if there is a simpler way that will work for<br>
other modes:<br>
<br>
(add-hook &#39;find-file-hooks &#39;turn-on-auto-fill)<br>
