The (not so new) idea is to have a global minor mode to enable other code we already have in Emacs core to make Emacs a little more friendly/modern to new comers. IOW this is to enable some non excessively invasive features to help people getting into the Emacs universe. ATM this modern-mode enables: column-number-mode, delete-selection-mode, fido-mode, global-auto-revert-mode, show-paren-mode, winner-mode and windmove, plus is binding ibuffer to C-x C-b. Hopefully in the future we could enable something like fido vertical and which-key. I had a look but for now I gave-up on the idea of picking up a dark mode to enable as is not so easy. I've also made that this mode can be enabled at invocation time using '-m' '-modern' or '--modern' as I think it may be more accessible for new starters. I think would be good to have something like this in core and not in ELPA to ease people getting started without having to install anything. Feedback is welcome Thanks Andrea
