Guard large files

guard-lf

Guard large files

This is an alternative to Emacs built-in so-long.

The so-long package will first enter the major mode and then disable all minor modes of your choice. But sometimes, the file is too large, and you cannot even exit the event loop. This package takes another approach. It prevents you from entering major mode and simply directs you to the mode configured in guard-lf-major-mode (by default, this is set to guard-lf-major-mode which is basically the same as fundamental-mode).

🔨 Usage

Place the following snippet to your init.el file:

(guard-lf-mode 1)

🔧 Customization

🧪 Variables

• guard-lf-major-mode - Major mode to use when viewing large file. (Default: guard-lf-large-file-mode)
• guard-lf-intact-major-modes - Do nothing for these major modes.
