+* There are some less favored default Emacs settings which makes the editing
+ experience in Emacs quite unlike other editors, especially for programmers.

+ horizontal and vertical directions and on / the cursor
does
+ not stay at the same position. All these behaviors can be easily adjusted by
+ changing default settings.
+
+ With the quick launcher 'b' all these are fixed. The /

+ If you launch Emacs without using 'b' you may want to include those changes

+ (setq hscroll-margin 1 ;; set horizontal scroll not jumppy;
+hscroll-step 1) ;
+ (scroll-bar-mode -1) ;; small border without scroll bar ;

+ Or you can refer to the source code "brief.el" for function
`brief-easy-start'.
