[SOLVED] How to disable Verilog mode in emacs?

How to disable Verilog mode in emacs?

I'm trying to use coq with ProofGeneral, but the built-in Verilog mode shadows *.v filetype recognition. Can I somehow disable it and let ProofGeneral remap them to its coq mode?

Solution

You are going to have to override the binding in auto-mode-alist in your .emacs or whatnot.

This SO post does something similar with VHDL:

How do I turn off vhdl-mode in emacs?

Also, I googled for "auto-mode-alist remove" and found this link. Copy/Pasting the important bit:

;; Remove all annoying modes from auto mode lists

(defun replace-alist-mode (alist oldmode newmode)
  (dolist (aitem alist)
    (if (eq (cdr aitem) oldmode)
    (setcdr aitem newmode))))

;; not sure what mode you want here. You could default to 'fundamental-mode
(replace-alist-mode auto-mode-alist 'verilog-mode 'proof-general-mode)
