I have a function that calls global-company-mode with argument 1 (enable) or -1 (disable).
A user can enable and disable however many times he wants. Do I have to set the configuration variables for company-mode every time I enable global-company-mode? Or would emacs remember the settings done before the first call that enables global-company-mode?
Quoting from company-mode manual:
To activate the company-mode, execute the command
M-x company-modethat toggles the mode on and off. When it is switched on, the mode line (see (emacs)Mode line) should indicate its presence with an indicator ‘company’.
So do not play with global-company-mode at all, just use the function
company-mode to do that. You may write a small function for that and
bind it to some key(s).
installation. From my POV, they become available generally when the package is initialized (loaded into Emacs), although you can set options before that (in which case they are "available" but they are not of much use). But in any case, you don't need to reset them before every enablement of the mode.requireif I have the source code, or withinstallwithlist-packages.requireultimately does aloadand it does not care if the file it loads is a.elfile or a.elcfile. Package initialization (not installation) does the same thing: it's just that in most cases, package installation compiles the.elfiles and produces.elcfiles, so package initialization ends up loading.elcfiles. That's all.
