Stealing from the Best Emacs Configs

This is an excellent article about Emax configuration snippets:

I really like how each section explains what the configuration does in simple terms and also what other popular “distributions” include it. Maybe others will find it valuable as well.

these are some neat fixes to quirks i’ve gotten used to.

instead of C-x 1 and winner-undo, i’ve been toggling between maximize-window and balance-windows based on window widths. that command doesn’t restore/preserve window state & it slides the view of some windows so the text is partially occluded.

i kinda forgot about the mark-ring. i’ve seen it before in docs, but that’s a feature i enjoyed from a few other editors.

I really need to learn and use winner; the undo/redo is really cool. I use ace-window for very basic conveniences, but winner is built-in and probably does everything I need quite well.
