How can I use `with-eval-after-load` with sh-mode?



Basically I want to defer call to sh-mode-map until sh-mode is loaded

First try

  (require 'sh-script)

Then set the keys in `sh-mode-map' (which is a variable BTW) ...

If that doesn't work keep the first line but turn the second
line to into a function (just enclose it in a `defun'), then
do

  (defun sh-mode-hook-f ()
    ;; call your key setting function here
  )
  (add-hook 'sh-mode-hook #'sh-mode-hook-f)

I don't know why some modes need the more elaborate and in
theory less efficient hook solution (less efficient since it
gets called every time), do they themselves reset the their
keymaps after they have been `require'd? This has puzzled me
for several years... I guess one could just compare the source
for two in this sense opposing modes!

You shouldn't be afraid of sensible use of hooks tho, they
aren't the ones to slow down the interactive feel, having TONS
of buffers open is the chief culprit, rather...

So I don't use `with-eval-after-load`?  Just do `add-hook`?

Seems I needed to use (require 'sh-script)

Try this:

(with-eval-after-load 'sh-script
  (message "My cool one-time config follows here ..."))

sh-mode is defined in lisp/progmodes/sh-script.el.

What is the difference between 



(with-eval-after-load 'sh-script

  (myfun))



and



(add-hook 'sh-mode-hook #'myfun)

Obviously sh-mode-hook gets executed every time you load sh-mode, i.e,
when you open a shell file.

eval after load will kick in when feature is loaded, i.e. when  you read
in (load or require) sh-script.el, so it least in theory it should get
executed only once, unless you unload feature 'sh-script for some reason.

This leads to another consideraion.  There are certainly advantages about using

`with-eval-after-load`.  But, then, what are the circumstances for using `add-hook`?

As said above: the circustance is when you wish a piece of code to run
every time a mode is loaded.

You should probably read the fine manual:

https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/emacs/Hooks.html
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Hooks-for-Loading.html

You don't need to require sh-script.el. sh-mode is autolaoded function
so Emacs will load sh-script when sh-mode is invoked automatically.

It depends if you want your code to run only once, when sh-script.el is
loaded or do you want it to run each every time the mode is loaded,
which will happen every time you open or create a shell file.

If you wish to modify key shortcuts, with-eval-after-load is probably
better place.

You sometimes need to `require' it anyway, e.g. try setting
the face `sh-escaped-newline' to something.

The byte-compiler seems to be OK with it (it doesn't say
anything) but when the file that does it is loaded it says
that's an invalid face and everything comes to a halt.

BTW it seems you don't need the hook solution for this
particular mode, just require and set the faces, when the mode
is loaded the faces are OK what I can see.

Definitely not needed: I set all my faces with `custom-set-faces` in my
init file and it works regardless if the faces are already defined
or not.

OK, but try with `set-face-attribute'.

That would be masochism,

Have removed (require 'sh-script) and things still work correctly.



One problem is that the headings one can use have to start with *, **, ***.  Which screws up my scripts.

Have changed headings so I can use



## h1 Heading Level 1

## h2 Heading Level 2

## h3 Heading Level 3



Am also seeing that the different levels are not being highlighted with a different colour.

Of course you can require, but why require it in your init file when you
can postpone that loading (lazy load it) until you actually use sh-mode?
Set that face in either with-eval-after-load or mode hook so you don't
need to require that file before it is actually needed.

Oh, or else what? What are YOU going to do about it?

Meanwhile I'm just gonna require and set faces and require...

You run your Emacs whichever way you like, your life is your problem
dude.

I reflected over your (bad) advice to someone who obviously doesn't
understand how mechanism work. Op does not need to require that file
just to set shortcuts for sh-mode.
