26 | ;; Many editors (e.g. Vim) have the feature of saving minibuffer |
27 | ;; history to an external file after exit. This package provides the | |
2a2b5b29 SM |
28 | ;; same feature in Emacs. When set up, it saves recorded minibuffer |
29 | ;; histories to a file (`~/.emacs-history' by default). Additional | |
30 | ;; variables may be specified by customizing | |
31 | ;; `savehist-additional-variables'. | |
cb23c7c1 | 32 | |
b91f17dc SM |
33 | ;; To use savehist, turn on savehist-mode by putting the following in |
34 | ;; `~/.emacs': | |
cb23c7c1 | 35 | ;; |
b91f17dc SM |
36 | ;; (savehist-mode 1) |
37 | ;; | |
38 | ;; or with customize: `M-x customize-option RET savehist-mode RET'. | |
39 | ;; | |
40 | ;; You can also explicitly save history with `M-x savehist-save' and | |
b13e8fb3 | 41 | ;; load it by loading the `savehist-file' with `M-x load-file'. |
cb23c7c1 | 42 | |
2a2b5b29 SM |
43 | ;; If you are using a version of Emacs that does not ship with this |
44 | ;; package, be sure to have `savehist.el' in a directory that is in | |
45 | ;; your load-path, and to byte-compile it. | |
