<HEAD><TITLE>Mode Configuration</TITLE></HEAD>
<BODY>
fte allows each file extension to have a different editing mode. Mode
is a collection of editor settings such as keybindings, tab settings,
autoindent settings, syntax highlighting,...
<P>
Syntax of <B>mode</B> command is
<P>
<PRE>
mode NAME { mode settings }
mode NAME: PARENT { mode settings }
</PRE>

<P> Mode with name <I>NAME</I>inherits settings from mode <I>PARENT</I>
if parent mode is specified at mode declaration.

<P> When editor is searching for a mode to use for a file it will
first check if the mode has been overriden by a <A
HREF="command.html#ec.FileOpenInMode">FileOpenInMode</A> command or a command line
option (<B>-m</B>).

<P> Then it will check if the file name matches <A
HREF="#ms.FileNameRx">FileNameRx</A> defined in mode declarations. 

<P> If the mode has still not been found, it will read the first line
(max 80 chars) of the file, and attempt to match the <A
HREF="#ms.FirstLineRx">FirstLineRx</A> with the first line. 

<P> If this fails, the editor will use mode specified by
<B><A HREF="global.html#gs.DefaultModeName">DefaultModeName</A></B> global
setting to load a file. If that mode does not exist, first mode defined
in the configuration file will be used.

<HR>
<H2><A NAME="modesetup">Mode Settings</A></H2>
<P>
The following settings can be specified for each mode:
