Add multiple functions as interceptors to Emacs

How can I simplify something like the following code in a file init.el

?

(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-revert-mode)
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'turn-on-org-cdlatex)
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'smartparens-mode)
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'abbrev-mode)

I have several other lines like, including some lambda functions added in org-mode-hook

...

Personally, I highly recommend adding functions lambda

to hooks. The main reason is that if you change content and reevaluate the expression add-hook

, the hook contains both the old and the new lambda expression. The second reason is that it looks bad when looking at the hook, it is better to see the function name compared to a large lambda expression.

Instead, I would suggest using:



(defun my-org-mode-hook ()
  (turn-on-auto-revert-mode)
  (turn-on-org-cdlatex)
  (smartparens-mode 1)
  (abbrev-mode 1)))
(add-hook 'org-mode-hook 'my-org-mode-hook)

Note: you can use global-auto-revert-mode

to enable auto-recovery on all buffers, so you don't need to enable it for all major modes.

I am using a simple one dolist

:

(dolist (fn '(turn-on-auto-revert-mode
              turn-on-org-cdlatex
              smartparens-mode
              abbrev-mode))
  (add-hook 'org-mode-hook fn))


This will allow you to still remove individual hooks from remove-hook

or from the customization interface.
