 ** Introduction
 I’ve crafted my Emacs configuration, I cheekily call /hamacs/, in a literate programming model, heavily inspired by my recent journey into [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LKegZI9vWUU][Henrik Lissner's]] [[https://github.com/hlissner/doom-emacs][Doom Emacs]] and [[https://www.spacemacs.org/][Spacemacs]].  While I used both extensively, I decided I would /roll my own/ as Emacs people like myself, tend to be /control freaks/ (at least a little bit).

 * Find the Bloody Cursor
 Large screen, lots of windows, so where is the cursor?

Specifically, I might /loose the cursor/ and need to have it highlighted (using ~F8~), but also, this automatically highlights the cursor line with specific /actions/ , like changing windows.

 The variable, =org-hide-emphasis-markers=, is key to pretending that Emacs can be a word processor, however, since the org markup controls aren’t viewable, I find it challenging at times, to change that. The [[https://github.com/awth13/org-appear][org-appear project]] seeks to fix this by showing the markup when the point is nearby:
