# guard-lf
> Guard large files
[](https://github.com/jcs-elpa/guard-lf/actions/workflows/test.yml)
This is an alternative to Emacs built-in [so-long][].
The [so-long][] package will first enter the major mode and then disable all
minor modes of your choice. But sometimes, the file is too large, and you cannot
even exit the event loop. This package takes another approach. It prevents you
from entering major mode and simply directs you to the mode configured in
`guard-lf-major-mode` (by default, this is set to `guard-lf-major-mode` which is
basically the same as `fundamental-mode`).
## 🔨 Usage
Place the following snippet to your `init.el` file:
```elisp
(guard-lf-mode 1)
```
## 🔧 Customization
### 🧪 Variables
- `guard-lf-major-mode` - Major mode to use when viewing large file. (Default: `guard-lf-large-file-mode`)
- `guard-lf-intact-major-modes` - Do nothing for these major modes.
