Yes, there they are mostly in the modeline, but how about a lisp list?
If you need it, you could write it yourself: (defun buffer-mode-list () "Return a list of the current buffer's major mode and minor modes." (interactive) (let ((modes (cons major-mode (apply 'nconc (mapcar (lambda (key-value) (let ((variable (car key-value))) (if (and (boundp variable) (symbol-value variable)) (list (symbol-name variable))))) minor-mode-alist))))) (if (interactive-p) (message "%s" modes) modes)))
I do apropos modes, and see things like "minor-modes" with no explanation of what they are doing there on a separate line: (apropos "modes" nil)K> Try: C-h a -mode\' OK, C-h a -mode$ looks simpler for me.
But won't return symbols with a newline in their name. :-) -- Kevin Rodgers
