[OT] Deactivate flyspell on a file by file basis

Hello list,

I use flyspell-mode for writing articles, but I don't need it for my
gtd.orgfile. Is there a way to exclude it (flyspell) from acting based
on the
filename of the buffer?

Regards,

Marcelo.

You can use file local variables for things like this. There is an
``eval'' pseudo-variable to allow you to execute code. See the emacs
manual for details, but it would look something like this (untested and
you have to put it at the end of the file):

...
# Local Variables:
# eval: (flyspell-mode 0)
# End:

Although this can get rather annoying due to
enable-local-variables related popups.


I use something similar to this:

(add-hook 'find-file-hook
          (lambda ()
            (or (member (buffer-file-name)
                        '("/path/to/some/file"
                          "/path/to/other/file"))
                (flyspell-mode 1))))

s/enable-local-variables/enable-local-eval

... though enable-local-variables applies as well.

Sorry for the noise.

You can save the eval setting in your custom file by saying ! to the
nag question the first time it is asked. As long as you load the custom file,
it won't nag you again.

Thank you all for the replies.

@Nick,@Peter: Both approaches work great! :)
