Hello,<div><br></div><div>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&#39;. </div><div><br></div><div>We generally(?) enable minor modes by doing (mode . MINOR) in .dir-locals.el. </div><div><br></div><div>So I thought of looking up the Emacs manual to check that:</div><div><br></div><div>Here&#39;s an example of a .dir-locals.el file:</div><div><br></div><div>((nil . ((indent-tabs-mode . t)<br>        (fill-column . 80)))<br></div><div>&lt;snip&gt;</div><div><br></div><div>This sets ‘indent-tabs-mode’ and fill-column for any file in the directory tree.<br></div><div><br></div><div>That would lead the readers to think that that&#39;s how *any* minor mode can be enabled from .dir-locals.el. </div><div><br></div><div>I think that example should be fixed by using a minor mode example that can be enabled using the (mode . MINOR) syntax.</div><div><br></div><div>[1]: <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/6malb6/disable_warning_message_when_enabling_minor_modes/">https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/6malb6/disable_warning_message_when_enabling_minor_modes/</a></div><div dir="ltr">-- <br></div><div data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><p dir="ltr">Kaushal Modi</p>
