Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2022 04:31:41 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <YVjmAM0utJUVNmU9-oawjuRA_okdddXPmK5Qx9kfPta2OSQ2CdpJKX4yp-b5ol__AzDBfbbH928Jvqe-T6yjgTIGoKRl_wH4hjAmVdNR-r8=@proton.me> (raw)
I am reading the Elisp manual
16.2 Specifying Variables using defcustom
The custom-set-variables function works somewhat differently than a setq. While I have never learned the differences, I modify the custom-set-variables expressions in my .emacs file by hand: I make the changes in what appears to me to be a reasonable manner and have not had any problems. Others prefer to use the Customization command and let Emacs do the work for them.
I myself use customize for hardly anything. Mostly, I write expressions myself.
Why are we talking like this !!! "I have never learned the differences" and "I myself use customize for hardly anything."
