2 This directory contains a .emacs file and emacs extensions that I found useful for programming work.
4 If you have already a .emacs file with custom modifications, be sure to back it up so you can copy the information into these files.
6 Copy the dot.emacs file and dot.emacs_extensions directory to your home directory and rename them to .emacs and .emacs_extensions.
8 The .emacs file contains the following functionality:
10 o it enables copy/paste with the terminal (very useful!)
12 o it changes the font to something more readable
14 o it enables perl_mode on both .pl and .t files
16 o it assigns goto-line to M-g
18 o it includes a number of other modules:
20 o sgn functions for entering POD headers etc.
22 o tabbar, for quickely changing between buffers using tabs.
