deft-text-mode had uses that deft-extensions doesn't serve... about deft HOT 4 CLOSED

I used to do something similar: My Deft files were all .txt files and so I had deft-text-mode set to markdown-mode. Otherwise, .txt files aren't special and just open in text-mode. With the new deft-extensions approach, I now accomplish this using an auto-mode-alist entry specifically for .txt files in my deft-directory (e.g., ~/deft/):

(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("/deft/.*\\.txt\\'" . markdown-mode))

It seems like you could you do something similar with your special minor mode?

That worked! Don't know why I didn't think of that ;-)

Thanks!

Yes, well, I didn't think of it at first either, which is how deft-text-mode came to exist in the first place. I'm happy to retire it now after realizing that it was duplicating functionality. Happy to hear that worked.

Brilliant. Adding an auto-mode-alist entry is even better than the original deft-text-mode option, because the major mode for a note would always be consistent, no matter deft-mode is enabled or not.
