Yet, I use it for all my software development work, python, Fortran, R and gnuplot. How do I invoke column number mode via the init.el file? Is there a simple way (e.g. a macro recorder like feature) to figure out what the equivalent Lisp commands are for the various things one can set from the interface? Thanks in advance, Alex van der Spek
