in reply to Re^2: On the fly syntax checkers (flymake in emacs)
in thread On the fly syntax checkers in emacs, ultraedit or vi

Hi astroboy,

I'm not a Komodo expert, but it's likely that they also copied the configuration options emacs offers.

from *Customize Group: Flymake*

Flymake Start Syntax Check On Find File:  Toggle  off (nil)
   State: SAVED and set.
   Start syntax check on find file.

No check on load means that simply viewing a foreign file w/o modifying it won't be a risk.

("Find file" is emacs lingo for loading a file¹ for editing)

HTH! =)

Cheers Rolf

¹) or switching to a file if already loaded
