Hello everyone,
Emacs supports multiple major modes by means of indirect buffers. This
feature is useful - among other things - to edit comments in source
code. However, when editing a block of line-comments, the
line-comment prefix is seen by the alternative major mode as a part of
the buffer (unless such mode is a specialized mode, of course).
Narrowing can't work, either, because you can't narrow to a rectangle,
can you? Therefore, is it possible to make a mode "believe" that each
line starts after the line comment prefix?
I have an alternative solution in mind*, but I'd like to know whether
a direct way to achieve this is available.
Thank you.
*: Such solution would involve narrowing to a comment block and then
stripping the line prefix, only to add it again before widening.
