Mode \Mode\, n. [L. modus a measure, due or proper measure,
   bound, manner, form; akin to E. mete: cf. F. mode. See
   {Mete}, and cf. {Commodious}, {Mood} in grammar, {Modus}.]
   1. Manner of doing or being; method; form; fashion; custom;
      way; style; as, the mode of speaking; the mode of
      dressing.

            The duty of itself being resolved on, the mode of
            doing it may easily be found.         --Jer. Taylor.

            A table richly spread in regal mode.  --Milton.

   2. Prevailing popular custom; fashion, especially in the
      phrase the mode.

      manifestation; form, as opposed to {matter}.

            Modes I call such complex ideas, which, however
            compounded, contain not in them the supposition of
            subsisting by themselves, but are considered as
            dependencies on, or affections of, substances.

      proposition; mood.

   7. (Mus.) The scale as affected by the various positions in
      it of the minor intervals; as, the Dorian mode, the Ionic

   Note: In modern music, only the major and the minor mode, of
         whatever key, are recognized.

Mode
     
        An {object-oriented language}.

mode
     
        1. 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 {chat}.
     
        2. More technically, 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.
