- I've just started using Lucid Emacs and it looks very good. I've got
- a couple of questions for which I would greatly appreciate some help.
-
- 1) Simple question - is it possible to install mouseable scrollbars?
-
- 2) Being a creature of habit, I cannot keep myself from hitting the
- backspace key when I want a backspace. I've tried inserting
- "(global-set-key 'BS 'delete-backward-char)" in my .emacs file but it
- doesn't seem to have any effect. However, I do seem to be able to get
- the desired result by invoking the global-set-key command interactively.
- Also, is there any good reason why I shouldn't do this, assuming I can
- figure out how, that anyone knows of?
-
- Thanks.
