→Customizing Emacs
Line 27:
Lisp code can be added to the user's ~/.emacs file, which is evaluated at startup.
"M-x (=Alt-x) customize" will bring up a menu for customizing default Emacs settings, which will be added to the ~/.emacs file in its Custom section: "Faces -> Basic Faces -> Region" in that menu for example sets the background color of selections. It is a good idea to change this, e.g. to "LightSteelBlue1", because the default setting is a very light gray that is hard to see.
Another useful setting is enabling "Emacs -> Convenience -> Cua -> Cua mode" for the standard Ctrl-X/C/V/Z key bindings that are known from most other applications.
