Re: Smarter M-x that filters on major-mode

[Lars Ingebrigtsen]

This all reminded me of a slightly related issue: All modes defined by
`define-derived-mode' are interactive.  Is there a reason for that?

I mean, most editing-related modes are definitely commands -- you want
to switch `prolog-mode' on and off as you wish.  But there's also a
number of modes that only make sense in certain special prepared buffers
(like `eww-history-mode', which is there just to provide a couple of
commands).

Would it make sense to introduce a keyword to `define-derived-mode' that
would allow saying :interactive nil?
