Really? Oh wow. You made my day. I thought nobody except myself used that feature of Spacehammer. That was the real reason why I wrote it to begin with. There are some hooks that spacehammer.el exposes. You can utilize them for setting vars for the buffer. Here's an example for setting markdown mode

(defun spacehammer-edit-with-emacs-h (buffer-name pid title)
  (with-current-buffer (get-buffer buffer-name)
    (markdown-mode)
    (setq-local spacehammer--caller-pid pid)))

(add-hook 'spacehammer-edit-with-emacs-hook #'spacehammer-edit-with-emacs-h)

Thank you - that works perfectly! Just edited the message above with it 😄 I'll take a look at the global mode, since sometimes I edit non-markdown things (and, IIUC, I have to pick the mode in advance on the hook)

I pushed a fix https://github.com/agzam/spacehammer/pull/184 Allow me to test it for a day or two, and I'll merge it. Unless I find some issues with the approach. But it should work fine.

A bit less trivial example you can find in my dotemacs here: https://github.com/agzam/.doom.d/blob/main/modules/custom/writing/config.el#L8

I'll take a look at the global modeYou don't have to. The package takes care of that. It sets the mode automatically upon the load. I was just trying to explain how it got broken.

Thank you! Oh, boy - even more gems on that repo! https://github.com/agzam/.doom.d/blob/68f9b8159d260253256e0cd6050af861315661ed/modules/custom/writing/autoload.el#L19-L19

Oy vey. You may wanna thread carefully there. There might be some dragons that I've adopted but forgot to slain. But please don't hesitate to ping me if you find something weird or get some good (or even not so good) ideas.
