From 0251cab3ab5021bd085fcbd8602c2f45ee4cdee3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jonas Bernoulli Date: Sun, 8 Nov 2020 18:49:29 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] Revert "emacs: notmuch-search: avoid wiping out buffer-local variables" This reverts commit f9fbd1ee3bfd679175d88af403752d87a730349f. Emacs provides a mechanism for avoiding wiping out buffer-local variables: marking them as "permanent local", which essentially means "don't wip out the local value when enabling major-mode". (put 'the-variable 'permanent-local t) See (info "(elisp)Creating Buffer-Local"). Whether refreshing the buffer contents should involve re-enable the mode is a different question, which should not be decided based on the fact that we want keep the value of some random variable, not least because some other (e.g. cache) variables are likely expected to be wiped. --- emacs/notmuch.el | 6 +----- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/emacs/notmuch.el b/emacs/notmuch.el index 95770fc3..132e7724 100644 --- a/emacs/notmuch.el +++ b/emacs/notmuch.el @@ -994,11 +994,7 @@ the configured default sort order."
