Jargon mode n. [common] A general state, usually used with an adjective
describing the state. Use of the word `mode' rather than `state' implies
that the state is extended over time, and probably also that some
activity characteristic of that state is being carried out. "No time to
hack; I'm in thesis mode." In its jargon sense, `mode' is most often
attributed to people, though it is sometimes applied to programs and
inanimate objects. In particular, see hack mode, day mode, {night
mode}, demo mode, fireworks mode, and yoyo mode; also talk mode.

One also often hears the verbs `enable' and `disable' used in
connection with jargon modes. Thus, for example, a sillier way of saying
"I'm going to crash" is "I'm going to enable crash mode now". One might
also hear a request to "disable flame mode, please".

In a usage much closer to techspeak, a mode is a special state that
certain user interfaces must pass into in order to perform certain
functions. For example, in order to insert characters into a document in
the Unix editor `vi', one must type the "i" key, which invokes the
"Insert" command. The effect of this command is to put vi into "insert
mode", in which typing the "i" key has a quite different effect (to wit,
it inserts an "i" into the document). One must then hit another special
key, "ESC", in order to leave "insert mode". Nowadays, modeful
interfaces are generally considered losing but survive in quite a few
widely used tools built in less enlightened times.


FOLDOC Mode

An object-oriented language.

Guide", J. Vihavainen, C-1987-50, U Helsinki, 1987].

MODEL. A machine made on a small scale to show the manner in which it is to be worked or employed. 2. The Act of Congress of July 4, 1836, section 6, requires an inventor who is desirous to take out a patent for his invention, to furnish a model of his invention, in all cases which admit of representation by model, of a convenient size to exhibit advantageously its several parts.
