Sir,
Here is an idea for your consideration:
Suggestion:
Add a customization option such as 'customize-existing' which fills
a customize buffer only with currently customized settings. A
related command for faces might be 'customize-existing-faces'.
Problem Solved:
Moving a laptop between the office and home requires customization
changes in gnus, for example. The variables which need to change
are in different groups, however, and are hard to find.
A 'customize-existing' command would put all of the variables into
one buffer for quick locating and changing.
A Minor Detail:
The settings in the buffer should be sorted first by their group,
and then alphabetically within the group.
