Re: [Emacs-vr-mode-devel] how to change the command list based on the mode

[Patrik <pa...@uc...>]

hi,

This functionality is not part of VR mode.  I've been thinking of adding 
it, but with the impending release of VoiceCode, I've been reluctant to put 
in the fairly significant effort needed.  However, there is something 
called Emacs VoiceCommander which provides this 
functionality.  Essentially, it creates a DVC file with all the Emacs 
commands, and uses a hook into the title bar to select them.  The drawback 
is that the command is sent as an escape-x keyboard command sequence which 
has minor compatibility problems with VR mode, but I'm using it all the 
time.  The way I've set it up is that common, mode-insensitive, commands 
like the ones that are in the VR mode default command list are executed 
through VR mode, and the more rarely used mode-sensitive commands are 
executed through voice commander.

If you have any further questions, let me know.

Hello everybody,

I am an avid user of the mode and fledgeling emacs programmer. This 
software has saved me from going nuts because I thought I wouldn't be able 
to program again when my hands really played up. So thank you in advance!

What I would really like to be able to do is to change the command list 
based on the major mode. In short, when I am in C++ mode I want a different 
set of keywords than when I am in lisp mode.

I know how to modify the variable from inside the mode hook, but it doesn't 
seem to work. Has anybody tried this are managed to make it work?

Thank you,

Colin Rhodes
