Disabling nxml-mode
Peter Flynn
which appears to open XML files in nxml-mode by default. My .emacs file says
> (autoload 'xml-mode "psgml" "Major mode to edit XML files." t )
> (setq auto-mode-alist (cons '("\\.[XxRrMmDdTt][TtMmDdSsNnEe][PpAaMmLlFfSsIi]?[EePp]*[Cc]*$" . xml-mode) auto-mode-alist))
which has been working fine for years. It looks as if Emacs 23.2 defines
xml-mode to point to nxml-mode, and this is somehow superseding my .emacs.
Unfortunately I still need to use psgml's xml-mode for all my XML stuff.
Does anyone know how I disable Emacs' new behaviour?

Is an article from someone who is switching to nxml in 2007, about 4
years ago......
I was just Googling because i want to know what nXML is, but still have
not found the answer ;)

nXML is a newer version of the XML syntax-annotation-and-assistance
macros for the Emacs editor.

(Really? Did you build it yourself?)

I'm still using 22, so I can only guess.
But I'd try starting emacs with the switch --no-site-file .
That should not block your own init file.

the reason it nxml-mode is loaded when u call xml-mode is probably
because there is a alias.
you can probably set it back by:
(defalias 'xml-mode 'sgml-xml-mode)

that seems to be pretty bad.
you probably want to use add-to-list instead of setq.
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.js\\'" . js2-mode))
also, the file suffix
"\\.[XxRrMmDdTt][TtMmDdSsNnEe][PpAaMmLlFfSsIi]?[EePp]*[Cc]*$"
seems quite wild. What is it?
nxml-mode is a new mode for xml, written by the xml expert James
Clark, who is also the original author of sgml-mode (html-mode and xml-
mode are parts of sgml-mode). nxml-mode features on-the-fly xml
validation. It's 10k lines of elisp.

if i understand correctly, you are using Windows on a desktop and
linux on your thinkpad labtop. Some problem occur with the linux on
thinkpad?
i dont' think i know the answer anyway.
On Windows, you might try AutoHotkey, which i use. I have some
tutorial here:
〈Windows Programing: AutoHotkey Tutorial〉
http://xahlee.org/mswin/autohotkey.html
according to Wikipedia, there's a linux version of AutoHotkey but i
never tried.
am guessing you can't remap Fn key by software on arbitary laptop
because they are probably hardwired in non-standard ways.
thanks for mentioning keytweak
http://webpages.charter.net/krumsick/
i haven't heard of it before.

Thanks to Jason Rumney on the emacs-nxml-mode mailing list, the solution
is to replace the autoload above with
(require 'nxml-mode)
(require 'psgml)
This works perfectly.

It's a regular expression which covers .xml and a heck of a lot of other
possible extensions, including many you probably didn't intend to accept
(such as .repepepec, for those whose frogs confuse flies and files).

Nice. Very technical and detailed. I'll mention it when i get
questions for ThinkPad.
Thanks for the link.
That's quite a site for ThinkPad!

Matches .xml and a stack of other related file extensions. Needs pruning :-)

Have you tried using the xev program to see what keycodes and mappings
are being used? Also worth verifying the key sequence is not being
'stolen' by the window manager etc.
