Subject: bug#59600: 28.1.90; Docstrings generated by `define-globalized-minor-mode' and `define-minor-mode' :global t are not same
Date: Sat, 26 Nov 2022 06:21:13 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87a64ekzhi.fsf@localhost> (raw)
Hi,
I noticed inconsistency between minor modes defined via
`define-globalized-minor-mode' and via `define-minor-mode' with :global
t keyword.
The former have the following in their docstring:
"Toggle %s in all buffers.\n"
"%s is enabled in all buffers where `%s' would do it."
However, no indication is given that globalized minor mode defined via
`define-minor-mode' :global t is global.
For example, `auto-save-visited-mode' is a global minor mode, but no
clear indication of this fact is given. It did cause confusion for some
users.
Expected: :global t clearly indicates that the mode is global.
