Customization
Binding Functions to Keys
Emacs allows you to bind functions to keys or key sequences. To do so
at startup, add these type of things to your
"~/.emacs" file:
(global-set-key [f7] 'ediff-files) ; Set a func key.
(global-set-key "\C-cl" 'recenter) ; Set a ctrl sequence.
Setting Variables
Setting a variable(s) looks like this:
(setq next-line-add-newlines nil)
(setq set-fill-column 80)
Other Customization
For other types of customization, do one or more of the following:
- get an Emacs book that lists variables and important functions you
can call
- grope someone's "
~username/.emacs" file and
copy stuff
- learn Lisp
