There is an issue when using Meow and Git Timemachine packages together.
When viewing a file in git-timemachine-mode meow, switches states using the meow--mode-get-state function which returns the meow mode based on the current major mode or overides in meow-mode-state-list.
Since git-timemachine-mode is a minor mode, it cant be used for automatic switching into motion using meow-mode-state-list.
Proposed Solution
A possible workaround is to modify the meow--mode-get-state function in Meow to disable mode inference and always return a specific state. By overriding this function, we can bypass the automatic mode switching behavior and consistently set the desired Meow state.
To implement this workaround, we can define a buffer-local variable called my-meow-desired-state, which will hold the desired Meow state for the current buffer. We can then use the advice-add function to apply advice to meow--mode-get-state, modifying its behavior based on the value of my-meow-desired-state. Additionally, a hook can be added to set the desired state specifically when entering Git Timemachine mode.
Implementation Steps
Add the necessary definitions and modifications to your Emacs configuration:
;; Define buffer-local variable
(defvar-local my-meow-desired-state 'motion"Buffer-local variable to specify the desired Meow state.")
;; Function to set the buffer-local value of my-meow-desired-state
(defunmy-meow-set-desired-state (state)
"Set the buffer-local variable 'my-meow-desired-state' to the specified state."
(setq-local my-meow-desired-state state))
;; Advice function to modify 'meow--mode-get-state' based on 'my-meow-desired-state'
(defunmy-meow-mode-get-state-advice (orig-func&restargs)
"Advice function to modify 'meow--mode-get-state' based on 'my-meow-desired-state'."
(if my-meow-desired-state
my-meow-desired-state
(apply orig-func args)))
;; Apply advice to 'meow--mode-get-state'
(advice-add'meow--mode-get-state:around#'my-meow-mode-get-state-advice)
;; Hook to set my-meow-desired-state to 'motion' when entering git-timemachine mode
(defunmy-meow-git-timemachine-hook ()
"Hook to set my-meow-desired-state to 'motion' when entering git-timemachine mode."
(my-meow-set-desired-state 'motion))
;; Check if git-timemachine is loaded and add the hook
(when (featurep'git-timemachine)
(add-hook'git-timemachine-mode-hook'my-meow-git-timemachine-hook))
Evaluate or reload your Emacs configuration to apply the changes.
