terraform-ts-mode

At work I work with Terraform, so need to edit quite a lot of tf files in GNU Emacs. There's no built-in terraform-ts-mode Emacs package and I don't want to install regexp-based terraform-mode package

Existing terraform-ts-mode is this: kgrotel/terraform-ts-mode, which claims being experimental. So it's a good opportunity to learn how to create major modes using Tree Sitter and on <2026-05-05 Tue> I built my own with Claude Code.

Installation: put terraform-ts-mode.el to load-path.

Usage:

(use-package terraform-ts-mode :ensure nil
  :init
  (add-to-list 'major-mode-remap-alist '(terraform-mode . terraform-ts-mode)))

With this knowledge, the next step is [TK: try mickeynp/combobulate package].
