How can I enable Show-Paren mode only for *.el files?
I have tried
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook '(lambda()
(show-paren-mode 1)
))
But it still enables Show-Paren mode for all the cases. Even in *scratch*
buffer I have Show-Paren mode enabled.
As already said, show-paren-mode
is a global minor mode. That said, one might be able to run it only on some buffer with something like:
(show-paren-mode) ;; activate the needed timer
(setq show-paren-mode ()) ;; The timer will do nothing if this is nil
(defun show-paren-local-mode ()
(interactive)
(make-local-variable 'show-paren-mode) ;; The value of shom-paren-mode will be local to this buffer.
(setq show-paren-mode t))
(add-hook 'emacs-lisp-mode-hook 'show-paren-local-mode)
It's untested, it might not work. Looking at the doc in might work, but looking at the code it might work. This might work only with some version of show-paren-mode.
