Controlling the Display
Since only part of a large buffer fits in the window, Emacs tries to show a part that is likely to be interesting. Display-control commands allow you to specify which part of the text you want to see, and how to display it.
- Faces: How to change the display style using faces.
- Font Lock: Minor mode for syntactic highlighting using faces.
- Highlight Changes: Using colors to show where you changed the buffer.
- Highlight Interactively: Tell Emacs what text to highlight.
- Trailing Whitespace: Showing possibly-spurious trailing whitespace.
- Scrolling: Moving text up and down in a window.
- Horizontal Scrolling: Moving text left and right in a window.
- Follow Mode: Follow mode lets two windows scroll as one.
- Selective Display: Hiding lines with lots of indentation.
- Optional Mode Line: Optional mode line display features.
- Text Display: How text characters are normally displayed.
- Display Custom: Information on variables for customizing display.
- Cursor Display: Features for displaying the cursor.
