My idea of this feature request was something like Zsh's first‐time‐
configuration. When you start the Zsh and don't have the file ~/.zshrc
you get a dialog with prompts to make rudimentary customizations like
enable completion and other stuff.

I thought we can extend the text of the scatch buffer to say something
like “To make some rudimentary customizations press ESC x and enter
config.”

The config function can give a dialog that asks questions like
• the prefered emulation and color scheme,
• enable/disable menu keys,
• create backup files

The jed-extra config file might add it's vi mode to the list of possible
emulations and might add more questions.

From the answers, the file Default_Jedrc_Startup_File should be generated
or extended.

Maybe we can extend this to modes and the like.

Bye, Jörg.
