No. That's what I do. Been using emacs for 5 years and got most of those basic issues settled in first year or so. > * do you use another shape cursor (such as vertical bar)? no, just the box and hollowed-box in window not in focus > * is cursor blinking a feature you would be inclined to > change during an editing session? if so, how often? no. I just leave it off. I find customization to be a little confusing because of all the options, except when I already know the name of a specific group. Has anyone ever thought about providing a documented template dot-emacs suitable for inexperienced users, maybe putting up a message on the initial splash-screen? Once someone sees a few customizations that actually affect his sessions, and learns a little bit about emacs docs, it isn't that hard to deal with those customizations. It's just those initial changes that are confusing. I would be willing to help produce and document such a dot-emacs after April. (Besides basic text-editing, I use auctex, gnus, and org-mode extensively -- but not always in a sophisticated manner. slime and other CL packages sometimes.) _______________________________________________ Help-gnu-emacs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-gnu-emacs
