I use this:
(completing-read
"mode: "
(apply-partially
#'completion-table-with-predicate
obarray
(lambda (sym) ;; predicate
(or (get sym 'derived-mode-parent) ;; most modes
(get sym 'custom-mode-group) ;; ada-mode
;; FIXME: leaves out fundamental-mode, maybe others
))
'strict)
nil ;; predicate
t ;; require-match
(symbol-name major-mode) ;; initial
history)
as the FIXME: says, it leaves out some.
