I find the annotate package useful for inserting comments and
annotations in "difficult" places. I find annotations in the margin (as
overlays) intrusive, so I have set this variable, so that the
annotations appear only in the echo area and as a tooltip:
(setq annotate-use-echo-area t)
See this screenshot: https://i.imgur.com/koKYL0K.png
Other possible settings for annotate:
(set-face-attribute 'annotate-highlight nil :foreground "chocolate" :background
nil :underline nil)
(set-face-attribute 'annotate-highlight-secondary nil :foreground "chocolate"
:background nil :underline nil)
(setq annotate-file "path/to/my/annotate/file")
Best regards,
Juan Manuel
