How to exclude or remove certain modes from major mode?

Question

I tried to use column-enforce-mode but I don't want it on web-mode I tried to disable it but without success.

(global-column-enforce-mode t)
(remove-hook 'web-mode 'column-enforce-mode nil)

The code above doesn't work. What is the proper way on doing it?

The doc of define-globalized-minor-mode says:

When a major mode is initialized, MODE is actually turned on just after running the major mode’s hook. However, MODE is not turned on if the hook has explicitly disabled it.

That means you should explicitly disable column-enforce-mode in web-mode-hook. I.e.:

(defun my-web-mode-hook-fun ()
  "Disable `column-enforce-mode' in `web-mode'."
  (column-enforce-mode -1))

(add-hook 'web-mode-hook #'my-web-mode-hook-fun)

This is the general approach for globalized minor modes. It is not tested for your special case of column-enforce-mode since I don't use it. Please test the code and report whether it works.
