When using visual mode, I often require the size of the selected region.
My modeline doesn't currently have a method of displaying selected text
properties, so I set this. Only works in visual mode.
Basically, setq -> defvar and using cond instead of if due to the
ability to do multiple conditions for the body of an 'if'.
I might make this a module actually.
When using the inbuilt RSS module, this becomes my personal config for
that module.
However, when not using that and instead using the newsticker inbuilt
for Emacs, I've got a config for that as well.
Section jumping can be done through the square bracket binds, which are
actually quite intuitive. So I instead bound TAB to be jump
item (usually in vim it's "%") which allows me to quick jump around files.
