This could be for example user's location. Upon changing it, I would like programatically to save it for future. Should I use below function? Or maybe something else is recommended? (defun customize-save-variable (variable value &optional comment) This way it is not working: (require 'cus-edit) (customize-save hyperscope-default-server "localhost") Any good way?
