Automatic Newlines

Just a quickie today. Emacs Elements has a YouTube short in which he offers an Emacs tip on adding newlines to the bottom of a buffer. The idea is that you can configure Emacs so that when you type Ctrl+n at the end of a buffer, it will create a new line without the need to go to the end of the last line and type Return. The video is less than 40 seconds so there will be no problem fitting it in.

This is the type of thing that would get me into trouble in no time at all so I won’t be enabling it but if this seems like something that make sense for your workflow, take a look at the video. It’s built in so there’s nothing to install. You can turn it on and if you don’t like it, turn it off again all in the same session.
