By Xah Lee. Date: .

To list major modes:

Do Alt+x apropos-command, then type “-mode”. (it's not a complete list, because some major mode's name do not end in “mode”) 〔see Emacs: List All Functions〕

Or, look at the variable auto-mode-alist.

auto-mode-alist
Alist of file name patterns vs corresponding major mode functions. 〔see Emacs: Show Variable Value〕
