How to start a specific mode with emacs?

Users use 'M-x auto-revert-mode' for starting auto revert mode. How can I set the .emacs file to do the same thing when emacs starts?

How to start a specific mode, when a major mode starts? For example, how to set the .emacs file when I want to start the auto revert mode when LaTeX mode starts?

Solution

  • If you want auto-revert-mode on for all files, add:

    (global-auto-revert-mode 1)

    If you want it for files for specific modes, try:

    (add-hook 'latex-mode-hook '(lambda () (auto-revert-mode 1)))

    and substitute the mode name for latex.
