Subject: | bug#32307: [feature request] Add standard hooks to toggle common features |
Date: | Mon, 30 Jul 2018 00:52:14 +0000 (UTC) |
By "standard features" I mean line numbering, format on save, auto-parens, etc. The current situation have these downsides: 1. complexity in configuration. Some of the packages that provide these features also provide toggling command, e.g. toggle-line-number or autoparens-mode. However, some __are not__, e.g. format on save. Toggling such feature requires users to implement their own commands. What's worse, they need to implement a toggling command for __each and every__ language. 2. problem when other package needs to toggle For example, I wrote a package that needs to temporarily disable auto-parens. I have to write code that handles electric-pair-mode, autoparens and paredit. Further more, byte compiler is not happy because I was referring functions it doesn't know about. Here is my thought about it: Provide toggle commands and corresponding hook for each of these features. Feature providers add their toggle function to the proper hook. When user toggles on/off, the toggle command runs each function in the hook with an aregument indicating that user is turning on or turning off, maybe t and nil. How do you think? Have there been similar discussions? Sincerely, Yuan |
