I use separate custom.el file where I never look inside. I have ~/.emacs.d/init.el which has on its end: (load "~/.emacs.d/custom.el") and I have variable: '(custom-file "~/.emacs.d/custom.el") in "custom.el" So that way you will separate custom.el and not have init.el cluttered, and you can separate other options too. -- Jean Take action in Free Software Foundation campaigns: https://www.fsf.org/campaigns In support of Richard M.
