Can be hydra buffer local?

[Ergus]

Hi:

I am wondering if it is possible to create an hydra, but making it buffer local. I use hydra with smerge and the hydra is autostarted with code like this:

(defun my/enable-smerge-maybe ()
    "Auto-enable `smerge-mode' when merge conflict is detected."
    (when (not (bound-and-true-p smerge-mode))
      (save-excursion
	(goto-char (point-min))
	(when (re-search-forward "^<<<<<<< " nil :noerror)
          (smerge-mode 1)
	  (hydra-smerge/body)))))

This shows the hydra at the bottom and works perfectly, but when I try to use the minibuffer I need to quit hydra to type some letters that are in the hydra.

Is it possible to specify hydra to be buffer local? so it only "capture" the keys in it's own buffer but not affect the others or the minibuffer?

Thanks in advance, Ergus.

You could slay the hydra on leaving the smerge buffer, and call it on reentering the buffer?
