I wonder if it is alright to define the derived mode dynamically
within a function:
(defun rcd-db-report (title entries &optional tabulated-list-format
tabulated-list-sort-key mode-map)
(let* ((tabulated-list-format (or tabulated-list-format [("ID" 10 t)
("Button" 20 t)]))
(title "Database"))
(let* ((buffer title)
(buffer (get-buffer-create buffer)))
(switch-to-buffer-other-window buffer)
(setq tabulated-list-format tabulated-list-format)
(setq tabulated-list-sort-key tabulated-list-sort-key)
(setq tabulated-list-entries entries)
(define-derived-mode rcd-db-list tabulated-list-mode "Database List"
"Database List Report"
(hl-line-mode)
(use-local-map mode-map)
(setq tabulated-list-padding 1)
(tabulated-list-init-header)
(tabulated-list-print t))
(rcd-db-list))))
As I would like to pass the keymap as mode-map to be each time
different, but I wonder if it is alright defining derived mode in a
function. So far it works.
I can see that I may define function within a function as well, but I
wonder if that is alright.
