I found here that the following disables DocView mode for a specific file type, like PDF:
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.pdf\\'" . fundamental-mode))
But how can DocView mode be disabled completely, for any file type? (on GNU Emacs 26.1)
Other than the (rassq-delete-all #'doc-view-mode-maybe auto-mode-alist) suggested by Tyler (but note you need to use ...-maybe), you can also be more drastic:
;; Die, Doc-View-mode! die!
(defalias 'doc-view-mode #'doc-view-fallback-mode) ;Or fundamental-mode, ...

Hi, thanks, the
#'fundamental-modeseems to work, but not for.jpgfiles. Is that normal? (minibuffer shows(Image[jpeg])but file is still displayed as an image). Could that be something other than DocView? So I'm in dired-mode, hit RET on a .jpg file and that shows me the picture in the current buffer. Hmmm, even if I useemacs -Q. – Marius Hofert May 14 '19 at 18:15 -
Ahhh, it's image mode! You can toggle via 'C-c C-c', then you see the source, great, thanks! – Marius Hofert May 14 '19 at 18:19

I think "DocView" and "Image" don't start with the same letter, so there's a good chance it's not the same thing ;-) – Stefan May 14 '19 at 18:19

ok, so now I need a
die, DocView *and* Image mode, die!:-) Sometimes Emacs is just too smart... – Marius Hofert May 14 '19 at 18:21 -
... and since
C-c C-calso works in doc-view mode, one should probably just remember that and not disable it at all (for consistency). – Marius Hofert May 14 '19 at 18:24
(rassq-delete-all #'doc-view-mode auto-mode-alist)? The thread you link to suggests this is what you want. – Tyler May 14 '19 at 16:32(rassq-delete-all #'doc-view-mode-maybe auto-mode-alist)? – Tyler May 14 '19 at 17:35
