For Mark, who is currently languishing in the South-East, I present some of our favourite macros that go in our .emacs files, and help to make life that little bit more bearable. I present, for your delectation:

• Installing the scroll-wheel:
  

  (when window-system
     (mwheel-install))

• Mapping Go to Line to something sensible (Alt-Z, in this case):
  

  (global-set-key "\M-z" 'goto-line)

• For the ultimate in handiness, though, you really need to get the name of the window set to the name of the current buffer. Behold:
  

  (defun title-set-title ()
     "Set title to current buffer's name"
     (let ((name (format "%s (emacs)" (buffer-name))))
     (modify-frame-parameters (selected-frame) 
        (list (cons `name name)))))
  
  (add-hook `post-command-hook
     (lambda ()
        (title-set-title)))

Unfortunately, it seems the pthreads-ninja macro is closed-source :oP.

Cheers,

Derek.
