Hello,
From the manual node (emacs) Specifying File Variables:
> Do not use the ‘mode’ keyword for minor modes. To enable or disable
a minor mode in a local variables list, use the ‘eval’ keyword with a
Lisp expression that runs the mode command (*note Minor Modes::).
Though, I have been using (mode . auto-fill) in my .dir-locals.el for ages,
and it works great. And it's less verbose than (eval . (auto-fill-mode)).
So I'd like to understand why the manual suggests *not* to use the mode
keyword for minor modes.
Thanks.
