For me, that sums up one of the quirks of emacs. Its way of hiding
its light under the proverbial bushel.
Each time I come across one of these features (e.g. auto-revert-mode yesterday)
I note it down and am likely to use it.
Has anyone documented the feature list (without going on to extensions)
that is present in the 'out of the box' emacs?
I swear I could use emacs for 20 years and still find out new things
that I could find useful.
RTFM won't cut it Tim <chuckles/>.
I'm not even sure how such a list might be documented. I'd go looking for
auto-revert-mode under 'refresh' or some such.
Is it worthwhile? Probably not if you're content with emacs.
