Saluton, I find myself repeatedly reverting some buffers as they grow. This is a nuisance and means font-locking starts from scratch, often enough for just one extra line in a 100kb bufferMy mode http://dapfy.bei.t-online.de/tail-mode.el does the same thing as tail -f for the file some buffer is visiting. You can even modify the buffer, but if you then save it, tail-mode is turned off. This is the third release adding (some time ago but unannounced) an entry in the mode line's minor mode menu, and now automatic turning off of this mode if the file stops growing. That happens by default two hours after the last grow. If there is any interest in adding this to Emacs, let me and emacs-devel <at> gnu.org hear it. coralament / best Grötens / liebe Grüße / best regards / elkorajn salutojn Daniel Pfeiffer -- -- lerne / learn / apprends / lär dig / ucz się Esperanto: http://lernu.net/
