Hi,
I realised that my original subject was somewhat misleading, so I
rephrased it. The question, however, remains:
I use howm-mode <http://howm.sourceforge.jp/> to note down random
snippets of information. By default, those files are named
<year>-<month>-<day>-<number>.howm.
So far, so well. But unfortunately this is matched by winmgr's
default RegExp "\\.[A-Za-z]*wm$". And, even worse, winmgr-mode can
only be switched on, but not off. Any clever idea how to handle that
situation, short of using something like
"\\.[A-Za-gi-z]*[A-Za-np-z]*wm$"?
So what's the best way to set up auto-mode-alist? Complicated
RegExps? Simply change the order of the RegExps? Any other ideas?
Thanks
Sven
