Another approach, which might or might not be better here, is to put these customiaions into major modes. There are many Emacs features that, by convention, major modes should customize. I don't have an opinion aboit whether this approach would be better here, I simply suggest consider the question. That said, this is a significant ask and will require > existing Casual users to change their setups. The cost of a transient like that is easy to justify for switching to the approach that is best in the long term, If there is a switch to be made, now is the time to do it. -- Dr Richard Stallman (https://stallman.org) Chief GNUisance of the GNU Project (https://gnu.org) Founder, Free Software Foundation (https://fsf.org) Internet Hall-of-Famer (https://internethalloffame.org)
