Skeleton autoinsert template is active on all `.el` files

Ok, I think I take it back. This might be a bug. Assume you have a path like this: ~/.config/rational-emacs/ and in that path you add the file foo.el. The regular expression matches rational-emacs/foo.el and assumes you mean this is a rational-emacs module. I need to fix the regular expression. I'll work on it.

My understanding was the regular expression was applied against the file name only, however it seems to include the entire path to the file as part of the file name.

Is this the intended behaviour for this skeleton, or is this a bug?

Not a bug. Here is more information:

Autoinsert is on, but there are 2 different skeleton templates for .el files. The first is in the init file for rational-*.el files, there is another built in for all other *.el files.

If you open a brand new emacs lisp file, and it's name matches the rational-.*\.el regular expression, you see the prompt to insert a description for a rational-emacs module. If you open a brand new file which does not match that regular expression, you see the prompt for a "Short description" which is for any other emacs lisp file.

This is the normal behavior when auto-insert-mode is turned on. If you open a brand new file for another programming language (for example C++) you'll see a different prompt and a different insertion (see auto-insert-alist for the list of default templates). Answering n (or no if you are using yes-or-no-p) for the first prompt will abort the auto insert.

If you wish to turn this off, in your rational-config-path/config.el you can use (auto-insert-mode -1).

In Emacs, C-h i d m Autotype RET i autoinserting RET should get you to the info page. Alternatively C-h i d m Autotype RET 5 should do approximately the same thing. You can also find information on the Skeleton Language in that same (AutoType) Info node (C-h i d m Autotype RET 1)

Hope this helps!

Yea, you are right.

But, still it tries to auto-insert the template on any .el file under my ~/.config/rational-emacs/ directory. I don't see why it should do that. I know that it is matching the regexp, but my cuestion is: Why would my personal configuration be treated as a module for rational-emacs?

Here some evidence: https://0x0.st/oK3X.png

@abarocio80 I have pushed a PR to resolve this issue. However, if you want to test it, please pull from my repo.

Thanks for the report!
