- Ok, I have default-major-mode set to vip-mode, and that works fine for many
- files; i.e. when I visit a file called foo.bar, I'm in vip-mode. But when the
- major mode is determined from auto-mode-alist, it throws me into a combination of
- the chosen mode (e.g. c-mode if the file ends with .c) and *Emacs* mode; i.e. the
- mode line says:
-
- -----Emacs: foo.c ...
-
- instead of
-
- -----Vi: foo.c ...
-
- It is possible to C-z and get into vip-mode, but that's annoying. How can I get
- around this.
