No, the answer is simpler than that.
Emacs simply doesn't support customizable priorities for bindings or key maps.  Minor mode keybindings
shadow major mode bindings, which shadow global bindings, if I remember correctly.  I think the Emacs
manual explains it (where keymaps are explained).

There's a low-priority keymap in osx-key-mode that I have created for this purpose - one could try that.

The alternative would be to dynamically determine the context menu so it would contain the regular context
menu.  That one may be quite tricky (or unreliable).

Presumably because the default in latex2html is not to show section numbers (that's what we use to generate
the Apple Help documents (in HTML) from the LaTeX manual source).  Perhaps Kevin Walzer, who wrote the
original conversion, had his reasons, such as other Apple Help manuals not having section numbers either.

I've changed this in the configuration, so we should have section numbers going forward.

Yes, that's a good change.  The original reasoning was, I believe, that "<AppName> Help" is the normal way of
titling this, but I don't think we need to insist on inconsistencies within the application.

I've made that change, thanks for your suggestions.

How to get truncated lines in a particular mode?

Dear all,

I have (global-visual-line-mode 1) in Preferences.el to get the "word-wrap" behavior by default. For
working with .R files, I would like to have truncated lines. I tried:

(add-hook 'ess-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
            ... ; other commands affecting this mode
            (visual-line-mode 0)
	    )
	  )

That didn't change the word-wrap behavior in .R files. How is it done correctly?

Another question: Is "M-x visual-line-mode" the correct command to toggle the behavior
(word-wrap/truncated) "locally"?

Cheers,

Marius

Thank you!  I am glad these were helpful.

Re: Aquamacs and JSON

Hi,

> I want to view JSON files on emacs. I use Aquamacs on MAC OSX.

Since JSON is a subset of JavaScript's literal object syntax, you can
simply use the mode you typically use for editing JavaScript to edit
JSON files.

> I have downloaded the json.el file.

json.el provides a JSON parser & serializer for use by other Emacs
Lisp libraries; it is not a major mode for editing JSON content.

Aquamacs - e.g. I can't highlight any text. This happens regardless of the type of document - whether it's
.r or .tex, say. I can use it to click on menus in Aquamacs and to click in the minibuffer to enter things
there. The mouse works happily (and contrarily!) in other software on the Mac.

You can find out what version you're running via the About menu item.  (I didn't know MacTeX comes with
Aquamacs - that's certainly nice to hear.)

Start up with "Start Aquamacs without customizations" from the "Help/Diagnose and Report Bug" menu, and
try selecting some text.  This should work just like in any other application.

Thanks
