Function: superword-mode

superword-mode is an autoloaded, interactive and byte-compiled function defined in subword.el.gz.

Signature

(superword-mode &optional ARG)

Documentation

Toggle superword movement and editing (Superword mode).

Superword mode is a buffer-local minor mode. Enabling it changes the definition of words such that characters which have symbol syntax are treated as parts of words: e.g., in superword-mode(var)/superword-mode(fun),
"this_is_a_symbol" counts as one word.

This is a minor mode. If called interactively, toggle the Superword mode mode. If the prefix argument is positive, enable the mode, and if it is zero or negative, disable the mode.

If called from Lisp, toggle the mode if ARG is toggle. Enable the mode if ARG is nil, omitted, or is a positive number. Disable the mode if ARG is a negative number.

To check whether the minor mode is enabled in the current buffer, evaluate the variable superword-mode(var)/superword-mode(fun).

The mode's hook is called both when the mode is enabled and when it is disabled.
