I looked at your buffer-local approach. It comes very close to what I
am looking for. Can you add that information to the doc string and to
the *info* for show-help-function?
There is a very important difference between the buffer-local approach
and the add-a-new-variable approach.
In the buffer-local approach, the response to the mouse depends on
where the cursor is, not on where the mouse is. Say I have run the
three lines
(make-variable-buffer-local 'show-help-function)
(add-hook 'dired-mode-hook (lambda () (setq show-help-function 'null)))
(add-hook 'buffer-menu-mode-hook (lambda () (setq show-help-function 'null)))
Open a dired and open a *Help*. Place the cursor in the dired and the
mouse in the *Help*. The help-echo in the *Help* is off.
Place the cursor in the *Help* and the mouse in the dired. The
help-echo in the dired is on.
In the local-variable approach, the response to the mouse depends on
where the mouse is. Start a new
emacs -q --no-site-lisp
and load my functions. Open a dired and open a *Help*. Place the
cursor in the dired and the mouse in the *Help*. The help-echo in the
*Help* is on. Place the cursor in the *Help* and the mouse in the
dired. The help-echo in the dired is off.
Is there a way to use local variables and have the behavior of the
mouse depend on the location of the mouse?
I will have to sit with it a few days before I decide whether the
current buffer-local approach will be comfortable for me.
Thank you for engaging in this conversation.
