### Introduction
[Config::General](http://search.cpan.org/dist/Config-General/) is a
Perl module for parsing config files with some enhanced
features. [config-general-mode](https://github.com/TLINDEN/config-general-mode)
makes it easier to edit such config files with emacs.
It is based on `conf-mode` with the following features:
- good syntax highlighting for config files
- completion support with <kbd><tab></kbd> (using `dabbrev`)
- imenu support for `<blocks>`
- electric paring mode (for quotes, parens, etc) enabled
- automatic indenting
- jump to include file with <kbd><ret></kbd>
### Installation
To use, save config-general-mode.el to a directory in your load-path.
Add something like this to your config:
(require 'config-general-mode)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.conf$" . config-general-mode))
or load it manually, when needed:
M-x config-general-mode
You can also enable it with a buffer-local variable by adding this as
the first line of a config file:
# -*-config-general-*-
### Customize
You can customize the mode with:
M-x customize-group RET config-general-mode RET
You can also use hooks to config-general mode as a way to modify or enhance
its behavior. The following hooks are available:
config-general-mode-hook
For example:
(add-hook 'config-general-mode-hook 'electric-indent-mode)
