I think there are lots of optional features people keep asking about,
which should be turned on by default. For example, how about auto-fill
in text modes?
However, I'd suggest that Someone(tm) does the footwork of making a
list ... We could then discuss that list.
Here is the beginning of a default .emacs file:
;;;; Sample initialization file for Emacs 21
;; 2000 Nov 6
;;; For information about an initialization file,
;;; see Emacs Info, node `Init File':
;; The command is: C-h i m emacs RET g init file RET
;; Also see Programming in Emacs Lisp, an Introduction,
;; node `Emacs Initialization':
;; The command is: C-h i m emacs-lisp-intro RET emacs initialization RET
;;; Set Text mode as the the default
(setq default-major-mode 'text-mode)
;;; Automatically fill lines; by default, the fill column is 70
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'turn-on-auto-fill)
;;; Put two spaces after a colon with explicit fill commands
(setq colon-double-space t)
;;; Turn on Tooltip mode;
;;; this causes explanations to pop up in their own windows
(tooltip-mode 1)
;;
;;; Make tool tips appear quickly; the default is one second
(setq tooltip-delay 0.1)
;;
;; To turn off Tooltip mode: (tooltip-mode -1)
;; Turn on Transient mark mode
(transient-mark-mode 1)
;;
;; To turn off Transient mark mode: (transient-mark-mode -1)
;; Turn on Global font lock mode
(global-font-lock-mode 1)
;;
;; To turn off Global font lock mode: (global-font-lock-mode -1)
;;; Prevent the cursor from blinking
(blink-cursor-mode 0)
;;
;;; Cause cursor to blink
;; (blink-cursor-mode 1)
;;; Turn on menu bar, which has text for drop down menus
(menu-bar-mode 1)
;;
;; To turn off menu bar: (menu-bar-mode -1)
;;; Cause indentation to insert spaces instead of tabs
(setq-default indent-tabs-mode nil)
;; Allow scalable fonts.
(setq scalable-fonts-allowed t)
;;; Turn on mail aliases in Mail mode
(setq mail-aliases t)
;; Mail aliases are found in you4 ~/.mailrc file
;; Write a mail alias like this:
;; alias geo address@hidden
;; Then when you write a message to George, address it to `geo'
;; and the mailer will automatically expand `geo' to the full address.
;;;; end Sample initialization file for Emacs 21
