[...] > Flymake reports one warning - "The function 'which-key-mode" is not > known to be define. The linters activated in `emacs-lisp-mode` for `flymake` are inadequate for the kind of code you find in `~/.emacs.d/init.el`. They're designed for the kind of code you'd find in a package, like those you can find in ELPA. If you really want, you can try and write your `init.el` code in a way that will silence those warnings, but it'll be inconvenient and the benefits will be very slim and it could even be harmful (typically to the startup time). Making a linter that only emits those warnings when they're really relevant in such a file will/would take a fair bit more effort. In the mean time I'd suggest you disable that linter in that file or ignore those warnings. Stefan
