Hi Drew,
thanks for help.
I don't yet understand exactly how it works.
AFAIU I have to copy parts of the source file of keysee.el and sorie.el
into my init.el file in order to install it.
But which parts?
this I should add:
(global-set-key (kbd "S-<f10>") 'kc-complete-menu-bar)
what is with that?
(require 'cl-macs) ;; cl-case, cl-loop
(require 'sortie)
Does it also belong to the part I have to copy into my init.el file?
There is text in between code, and AFAIU text should always have ;; at
the beginning, but there are not those ;;
so what is the real code?
i just started learning emacs, so please forgive my ignorance
kind regards
Gottfried
