Hi,

I cannot find a major mode to use for editing bash-scripts. Which one 
can you advize?

Tx/Alain

Shell-script. Looks good enough. Is built-in.

No, by opening a shell script. For me it works automatically. All I  
have to do is to open the shell script. Could you make a try with an  
Emacs launched with -Q and shell scripts that start with:

	#!/bin/bash

or

	#!/bin/sh

or

	#!/bin/csh

or

	#!/bin/tcsh

or

	#!/bin/ksh

or

	#!/bin/zsh

or

	...

and look at the mode-line?

Launch GNU Emacs with -Q or -q to see whether this comes from some  
customisation.

Modern Emacsen should display in mode-line "[(Shell-script[bash])]" –  
maybe added by View.


To me it looks as if you have a problem with skeleton.

Isn't vi that text editor with two modes... one that beeps and one  
that corrupts your file?

Obviously you have an old skeleton.el in /home/amuls/emacs/elisp/
which gets in the way.

Maybe have a look at

sh-beg-end.el, which you can get at

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnu-emacs-sources/2008-02/msg00000.html

It delivers `sh-match-paren' and slightly changed
move-commands.

With thingatpt-utils you get additional facilities to
sort, transpose, copy, kill etc. functions in
Shell-script mode.

Theres `shell-script-mode' aka `sh-mode'.  It's builtin and should be
switched on when a file has the ending ".sh" or ".bash".

How about shell-script-mode?
