Re: [ jEdit-users ] New Edit Mode Not Being Applied/Used

If your filename is something.txt and there is already a FILE_NAME_GLOB for
*.txt that rule can take precedence over the FIRST_LINE_GLOB. Perhaps if
your user mode also had *.txt as its FILE_NAME_GLOB then jEdit might be
able to check deeper and look at the FIRST_LINE to decide whether to use
your mode or txt, but maybe it will always use your mode instead of txt, I
am not sure. I would have to look into the code to find out more.
