Remove default modes

[fictitiousexistence]

Hi @aartaka !

Thanks for posting your config.

I was able to use the part in your config to define certain modes to be enabled by default like blocker and reduce tracking.

Is there a way to disable certain modes globally? There's alot I don't need like annotate, hint, bookmarks, password. But they are always enabled. I was hoping setting the default-modes would only have the ones specified enabled.

Thanks :)

You can try to redefine the default-modes :around method to remove the modes added on top of the pre-defined ones by some Nyxt modes. The definition of the default-modes :around is (as part of defgeneric default-modes):

(:method :around ((buffer buffer))
  "Remove the duplicates from the `default-modes' and bring them all to a proper form.
This allows setting modes as :DARK-MODE or 'EMACS-MODE in whatever package, and
Nsymbols will find the proper symbol, unless duplicate."
  (mapcar (alex:rcurry #'resolve-user-symbol :mode (list-all-packages))
          (remove-duplicates (call-next-method)
                             ;; Modes at the beginning of the list have higher priority.
                             :from-end t)))

We can preserve most of it and remove the unneeded modes from the result:

(defmethod nyxt:default-modes :around ((buffer buffer))
  (remove-if
   #'(lambda (mode)
       ;; Adjust the list of modes here:
       (member mode '(nyxt/annotate-mode:annotate-mode
                      nyxt/bookmark-mode:bookmark-mode
                      nyxt/password-mode:password-mode)))
   (mapcar (alex:rcurry #'resolve-user-symbol :mode (list-all-packages))
           (remove-duplicates (call-next-method)
                              ;; Modes at the beginning of the list have higher priority.
                              :from-end t))))

Alternatively, you can use buffer-after-make-hook to remove the modes after they were enabled.

I believe you can go from there on your own, but feel free to ask if something's unclear :)
