Emacs: How to disable specific global mode in major-mode hook?

Question

I use global-autopair-mode , but with Ruby the ruby-electric-mode provides better autopairing.

I'm a n00b to Emacs and Lisp, so I would have thought you could do something like:

(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
             (autopair-mode nil)
             (ruby-electric-mode t))

This however doesn't work. Is there a way to disable global modes within a major-mode hook?

Currently I'm using the last solution posted here , but it's not very neat and clean.

Answer 1

autopair mode honors autopair-dont-activate , used like so:

(add-hook 'ruby-mode-hook
          (lambda ()
             (setq autopair-dont-activate t)
             (ruby-electric-mode t))

Answer 2

尝试将(autopair-mode nil)替换为(autopair-mode -1) 。
