Iβm looking at all the lines in my .emacs matching β-mode β ... π β MinorMode

(global-font-lock-mode 1) (show-paren-mode 1) (tool-bar-mode -1) (menu-bar-mode -1) (scroll-bar-mode -1) (blink-cursor-mode -1) (winner-mode 1) (windmove-default-keybindings) (column-number-mode 1) (savehist-mode 1) (when (fboundp 'mac-print-mode) (mac-print-mode 1) (global-set-key (kbd "M-p") 'mac-print-buffer)) (iswitchb-mode 1)
I want Emacs to highlight matching parenthesis (show paren) and highlight code (global font lock). β EnablingFontLock
Yes, I like to keep all the distracting stuff away from my Emacs frames (scroll bar, tool bar, menu bar). β ScrollBar, MenuBar

Moving between windows using C-x o is boring and cumbersome, specially if you have more than two windows. Windmove allows you to switch windows faster. β WindMove
Switching buffers is faster with iswitchb. β IswitchBuffers
Column number mode adds the column to the modeline. Nice. β ModeLineConfiguration
Savehist makes sure your minibuffer history is saved and restored between Emacs sessions. β SaveHist
Mac print mode only works on my Macs, obviously, which is why I wrapped it in a test. β MacPrintMode
