Hello,
I recently stumbled across this Reddit post[1] where a user is trying to
enable a minor mode in .dir-locals.el. But he was doing that by setting the
mode name to `t'.
We generally(?) enable minor modes by doing (mode . MINOR) in
.dir-locals.el.
So I thought of looking up the Emacs manual to check that:
Here's an example of a .dir-locals.el file:
((nil . ((indent-tabs-mode . t)
(fill-column . 80)))
<snip>
This sets ‘indent-tabs-mode’ and fill-column for any file in the directory
tree.
That would lead the readers to think that that's how *any* minor mode can
be enabled from .dir-locals.el.
I think that example should be fixed by using a minor mode example that can
be enabled using the (mode . MINOR) syntax.
