How do I find out what modes are currently running in the current Emacs buffer?
You can see the major mode and all the minor modes enabled for the selected buffer with:
C-hm
or
M-x
describe-modeRETThe mode line also displays information about the major mode, and usually some minor modes.
I also recommend you run the tutorial with C-ht, which will teach you a great many useful things.
