<h1 class="title">auto-mode will take care of your VPN when you forget!</h1>
<p class="author">By Artyom Bologov</p>
</header>
<p>Your Internet privacy routine can be simple or complicated, ritualistic or conscious, but it's always this <em>routine</em>. It helps you to leave less data for other people to exploit… Until you forget!</p>
<p>While browsers and extensions offer some options- like blocklisting the websites you want your VPN to be turned on, or even remembering settings domain-wise, it's usually not scalable and transferable between different extensions. It's hard to learn ten different mechanisms and use them everyday to preserve your privacy.</p>
<p>That's where Nyxt's new <code>auto-mode</code> can help you. It remembers the modes you enable and disable for different URLs and reapplies them automatically.</p>
<h1 id="how-to-use-it">How to use it?</h1>
<p>Just add <code>auto-mode</code> to your buffer <code>default-modes</code>:</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb1" data-org-language="lisp"><pre class="sourceCode commonlisp"><code class="sourceCode commonlisp"><a class="sourceLine" id="cb1-1" data-line-number="1">(define-configuration buffer</a>
<a class="sourceLine" id="cb1-2" data-line-number="2"> ((default-modes (<span class="kw">append</span> &#39;(auto-mode) %slot-default))))</a></code></pre></div>
<p>Now, if you navigate to a web page, enable <code>proxy-mode</code>, and execute <code>save-non-default-modes-for-future-visits</code>, <code>proxy-mode</code> will be automatically reapplied when you vist again. Your rules can be activated on the main domain of a website, any of its subdomains, or even on specific pages, depending on what you input. In addition to reapplying modes, <code>auto-mode</code> will automatically deactivate modes when they are no longer relevant.</p>
<p>If you get back to the page you saved <code>proxy-mode</code> for, it will be enabled and you'll access the page with a new IP, without any action on your part. Easy, huh? That's what <code>auto-mode</code> will do for you all the time. It will remember your modes and enable them right when you need them!</p>
<h1 id="this-command-is-hard-to-type-is-there-an-alternative">This command is hard to type! Is there an alternative?</h1>
<p>If you don't want to type in the long <code>save-non-default-...</code> command name (even though it's fuzzy-completed), there's an option for you! Just enable chatty prompting on mode toggles that <code>auto-mode</code> has as a configuration variable:</p>
<div class="sourceCode" id="cb2" data-org-language="lisp"><pre class="sourceCode commonlisp"><code class="sourceCode commonlisp"><a class="sourceLine" id="cb2-1" data-line-number="1">(define-configuration nyxt/auto-mode:auto-mode</a>
<a class="sourceLine" id="cb2-2" data-line-number="2"> ((nyxt/auto-mode:prompt-on-mode-toggle <span class="kw">t</span>)))</a></code></pre></div>
<p>It's simple and convenient. Say, you open some web page and enable <code>proxy-mode</code>. That's what you'll see:</p>
<p><img src="../static/image/article/auto-mode-permanent.png" /></p>
<p>If you answer &quot;yes&quot;, you'll be prompted for a URL to save this mode for, as in <code>save-non-default-modes-for-future-visits</code>. The rule will be created in the same way, but you won't need to call any command <code>auto-mode</code> will ask you about saving modes when you toggle them.</p>
<h1 id="how-do-i-change-the-auto-mode-rules">How do I change the auto-mode rules?</h1>
<p>There are two ways:</p>
<ul>
<li>you can browse your usual websites and use <code>auto-mode</code> to re-save the modes you enable, or</li>
<li>you can edit the file that <code>auto-mode</code> saves all the rules in.</li>
</ul>
<p>The rules file is stored in <code>~/.local/share/nyxt/auto-mode-rules.lisp</code>. (You can redefine it to use a different path and even to use GPG-encryption!) This file is made exactly in a way that enables you to easily edit it!</p>
<p>When you open it, you'll be presented with a header explaining all the formatting of <code>auto-mode</code> rules, so you won't ever be lost! Here are the shortened rules:</p>
<ul>
<li>Every rule is delimited by a newline.</li>
<li>Rules can have test, <code>:excluded</code> modes, <code>:included</code> modes and they can be <code>:exact-p</code>.
<ul>
<li>Test is the first thing in the rule. It relies on <code>match-*</code> functions heavily, so you can look up their documentation with Nyxt's <code>describe-function</code> and use them however you want!</li>
<li><code>:included</code> modes are the ones that will always be enabled when the URL matches this rule.</li>
<li><code>:excluded</code> modes will be always disabled when this rule matches.</li>
<li><code>:exact-p</code> denotes whether you want <em>exactly this list of modes</em> to be enabled for this rule or you just want to enable/disable the listed modes in addition to the present ones. See the documentation of <code>save-exact-modes-for-future-visits</code> for more information.</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>
<p>That's almost everything you need to know to create new rules and edit the existing ones!</p>
<h1 id="what-about-other-uses-of-auto-mode">What about other uses of <code>auto-mode</code>?</h1>
<p>Maybe you like <code>noscript-mode</code> and <code>noimage-mode</code>, because they speed up browsing, at the cost of breaking some sites. <code>auto-mode</code> is the perfect solution for this kind of problems: simply disable <code>noscript-mode</code> or <code>noimage-mode</code> when required and your preferences will be remembered!</p>
<p><code>auto-mode</code> is about toggling modes, so anything that can be represented as mode can be automated by it! The more modes there are, the more powerful <code>auto-mode</code> will become, so don't hesitate to use it and create new modes to automate your Internet routine!</p>
<p>Thanks for reading :-)</p>
