reset-mode

Pick the appropriate mode for this buffer.

When you first load a file, Epsilon auto-detects the correct mode for it, by examining the file's extension and sometimes the contents of the file. This command makes Epsilon repeat that process, setting the buffer to a different mode if appropriate. It can be handy after you've temporarily switched to a different mode for any reason, or after you've started creating a new file with no extension and have now typed the first few lines, enough for Epsilon to auto-detect the proper mode.

For instance, if you're creating a new file with no extension, there might not be enough information for Epsilon to choose the right mode at the start. Once you've typed the usual first line of a Perl, PostScript, shell script, or similar file, then Epsilon should have enough information to pick the right mode.
