Subject: Testing whether a mode is enabled
Date: Sun, 16 Oct 2022 15:24:01 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <dxMUfC1bP3PCwDDx_gAxt_SrwxdzPer1lyZBEv2B8HcQJbGmSEGGEAaTS2IQrZjjl9W6ir2gIiyK7HilXED-_jaHl9WTn3_ZhQx90S_hBfE=@protonmail.com> (raw)

Am using icomplete-mode but find things somewhat confusing.

To enable or disable the mode one uses (icomplete-mode 1) and (icomplete-mode -1)

I want to test whether the mode is enabled or disabled with "(if icomplete-mode" and
(if (not icomplete-mode)".

(not OBJECT) returns t if OBJECT is nil, and returns nil otherwise.

When I use conditional with "icomplete-mode" is it correct to say that if "icomplete-mode" is nil,
then the mode is disabled?

I am uncertain because of the numeric values used to enable and disable.
