I often use rgrep to find files I need to change and then a macro to go through these files, do the change and save it. It's a very neat flow with one downside: I have prettier check each file on save and flycheck (using eslint) also goes absolutely crazy and maxes out my CPU.
So I wondered, if there is any good way to globally (as my macro visits a lot of files) disable temporarily (as I want these modes after the macro finished) certain modes, most importantly flycheck?
I didn't find anything related, any ideas on how this could be done?
EDIT:
This is how I load flycheck e.g. in rjsx-mode:
;; disable jshint since we prefer eslint checking
(setq-default flycheck-disabled-checkers
(append flycheck-disabled-checkers
'(javascript-jshint)))
;; disable json-jsonlist checking for json files
(setq-default flycheck-disabled-checkers
(append flycheck-disabled-checkers
'(json-jsonlist)))
;; use eslint with web-mode for jsx files
(defun my/use-eslint-from-node-modules ()
(let* ((root (locate-dominating-file
(or (buffer-file-name) default-directory)
"node_modules"))
(eslint (and root
(expand-file-name "node_modules/eslint/bin/eslint.js"
root))))
(when (and eslint (file-executable-p eslint))
(setq-local flycheck-javascript-eslint-executable eslint))))
(add-hook 'flycheck-mode-hook #'my/use-eslint-from-node-modules)
(flycheck-add-mode 'javascript-eslint 'rjsx-mode)

Try changing your macro to open files with find-file-literally. This will always open files in Fundamental mode, preventing flycheck from running (well, assuming you have no flycheck hooks for Fundamental mode.)
See C-h f find-file-literally or Visiting in the Emacs manual.
