mode on by default

mode on by default

[Gary Wessle]

Hi

in my .emacs I have

(custom-set-variables
  ;; custom-set-variables was added by Custom -- don't edit or cut/paste it!
  ;; Your init file should contain only one such instance.
 '(column-number-mode t)
 '(winner-mode t)
 '(default-major-mode (quote text-mode))
...

and the list goes on.
notice that I edited the above section by adding the line
'(winner-mode t)

is that correct in order to turn this mode on by default?

thanks

I think it should be:

(winner-mode 1)

and there's no reason to put it in custom-set-variables

M-x customize-apropos RET winner RET

Maybe the result is correct (it looks plausible, but there are occasionally
surprises).  But as the comment indicates, it clearly isn't the correct way
to get this result.

Use M-x customize-variable RET winner-mode RET

Or place

   (winner-mode 1)

somewhere in your .emacs.
