Format to use for the Flymake mode line indicator.

flymake-mode-line-counter-format ¶

mode line construct for formatting Flymake diagnostic counters inside the Flymake mode line indicator.

flymake-no-changes-timeout ¶

If any changes are made to the buffer, syntax check is automatically started after this many seconds, unless the user makes another change, which resets the timer.

flymake-start-on-flymake-mode ¶

A boolean flag indicating whether to start syntax check immediately after enabling flymake-mode.

flymake-start-on-save-buffer ¶

A boolean flag indicating whether to start syntax check after saving the buffer.

A custom face for highlighting regions for which an error has been reported.

flymake-warning ¶

A custom face for highlighting regions for which a warning has been reported.

flymake-note ¶

A custom face for highlighting regions for which a note has been reported.

flymake-indicator-type ¶

The indicator type which Flymake should use to indicate lines with errors or warnings. Depending on your preference, this can either use fringes or margins for indicating errors.

flymake-error-bitmap ¶

A bitmap used in the fringe to mark lines for which an error has been reported.

flymake-warning-bitmap ¶

A bitmap used in the fringe to mark lines for which a warning has been reported.

flymake-fringe-indicator-position ¶

Which fringe (if any) should show the warning/error bitmaps.

flymake-margin-indicators-string ¶

Specifies the string and face to use for the margin indicators, for each error type.

flymake-margin-indicator-position ¶

Which margin (if any) should show the warning/error strings.

flymake-autoresize-margins ¶

If non-nil, Flymake will resize the margins when flymake-mode is turned on or off. Only relevant if flymake-indicator-type is set to margins.

flymake-wrap-around ¶

flymake-show-diagnostics-at-end-of-line ¶

If non-nil, show summarized descriptions of diagnostics at the end of the line. Depending on your preference, this can either be distracting and easily confused with actual code, or a significant early aid that relieves you from moving around or reaching for the mouse to consult an error message.
