Update environment earlier

Open wyuenho opened this issue 1 year ago • 0 comments

This PR should fix #17 and #28.

The problems are firstly, before-hack-local-variables-hook doesn't get run if the file has not file local variables, and secondly post-command-hook is run after all the major mode hooks. If any major mode hooks expects exec-path to be the most updated value, the current implementation does not work for this expectation. It also runs too frequently unnecessarily.

To update the environment as early as possible, this PR moves the decision to just before the major mode hooks are run but after the major mode has been set up, after a window buffer change and after a window is selected.

In addition, this PR resets the environment to the HOME dir's whenever the user selects a non-file and non-whitelisted window buffer so as to mitigate the perception problem that justified the entire existence of this package.
