Feature Req: Save buffer-local-variables #40

Closed mtwomey closed 1 month ago

mtwomey commented 3 years ago

I have some minor modes that are influenced by buffer-local-variables. It would be very helpful if it were possible to restore these as well when opening a bookmark. Or is there already a way to do this?

This would currently be handled by the bookmarking functions, but since those apply to major modes, they would have to specifically support such minor mode variables. Can you give me a few examples? We might need a more general way to customize the bookmark records. Alternatively, you could probably define advice for the relevant bookmark-make-record-function and bookmark-jump function in those buffers which would save and restore the variables.
