Subject: How to define a (derived) minor mode inaccessible to the user
Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2021 06:11:51 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87eeidlfmw.fsf@mbork.pl> (raw)
Hello everyone,
I'd like to define a special-purpose major mode, derived from
`special-mode', in such a way that the user cannot set it using M-x.
(It is to be called via another command.) It seems that
`define-derived-mode' always sets the mode as `interactive'. I tried to
define my mode using
(define-derived-mode
my--mode
special-mode
"My mode")
and then did
M-: (symbol-plist 'my--mode)
expecting an `interactive-form' entry on the plist - but it was not
there. (I wanted to remove it from the list so that it can't be called
with M-x.)
What's going on? Is it possible to define a (derived) major mode so
that it can't be called interactively?
TIA,
--
