See they are in different modeline modes?
How can I make them both bash mode?
No matter if it is filename prefix, or #!/bin/sh or whatever.
I tried defalias, and it didn't work.



Hi,

AFAIU you want a bash-specific editing environment.
I'm interested in that question, as delivered some shell-script tools.
Maybe have a look at

sh-beg-end.el  at https://launchpad.net/s-x-emacs-werkstatt/

BTW, what should such bash-mode do, what sh-mode and shell-script-mode do not?

I'm curious on this too but... emacs looks at the #! line as well as the 
suffix.  So if you do:

echo '#!/bin/bash'>  f1.sh
echo '#!/bin/bash'>  f2.bash

and then edit them, both put you into bash mode.  And:

echo '#!/bin/bash'>  f3

(no suffix) will put you into bash mode too as well as

echo '#!/usr/bin/env bash'>  f4

(more complicated interpretation of the #! line)

Likewise:

echo '#!/usr/bin/env ruby'>  f5

will put you into Ruby mode when editing f5.

My curiosity is where is all this magic done so I could tweak it if I needed 
to?  I know about file-mode-alist but that is just the suffix mapping part.  
What is interpreting the #! of a file?

C-h v interpreter-mode-alist
C-h v auto-mode-interpreter-regexp
