Thank you for listening!

How do we make such proposals?  Should we post some or all of our
settings here, including self-written functions we call with non-default
key bindings?  What are the users we should have in mind?

Here are a few of the settings I use:


(setq inhibit-startup-message t
      default-major-mode 'text-mode
      mouse-yank-at-point t)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.org\\'" . org-mode))
(add-hook 'mail-mode-hook 'turn-on-orgstruct++)
(blink-cursor-mode 0)
(setq scroll-margin 0)
(set-cursor-color "#F00000")
(setq Man-width 75)
(setq Man-notify-method 'aggressive)
(load "~/emacs/my-mark-line")
(global-set-key "\C-xl" 'my-mark-this-line)
(global-set-key "\C-xc" 'my-copy-this-line)
(global-set-key "\C-xw" 'my-cut-this-line)
