Hi Victor,

Strange, also, that using the universal argument doesn't toggle the variables in other buffers. Can you open a new buffer after you toggle, and use m-: to check the variable value?

Thanks Parham!

This does not work for me, unfortunately.

Will scan the manual once again to see if I missed anything. :)

Hi Victor,

These variables are defined as local variables, meaning that if you're setting them with setq, the default value (which is the value assigned to the variable when you open a new buffer) isn't set.

To change the default value in your init file, you'd need to use `setq-default'. The syntax is like `setq', but it works with local variables. You can look it up in the elisp info pages for the caveats.

Good luck!

Hi.

This is probably a simple question, but I am not able to make the dtk-caps and dtk-punctuation-mode variables "stick" and persist across sessions after setting them in my initialization file.

In fact, even if I set them interactively in one buffer with the "universal prefix" , they will get reset in other buffers.

I am probably missing something obvious here, but what?

Thanks for any pointers!

Best.

Victor
