My first customisation was to set tab-width to 4.
The online help for Emacs is excellent
and I became somewhat addicted to
the process of customisation... learning
more and changing more and so on...
Then I redefined C-x f to C-f (in all modes)
to save my left hand from too much
stretching. I still can't believe that most
people don't do this.
Then I changed the command M-c to behave
like so aaa_bbb_ccc -> Aaa_Bbb_Ccc
for more readable C++ code.
Then I (re)defined all of the function
keys to perform common operations
like f8 to undo and f9 to compile.
Ten years later I now have 15 thousand lines of Lisp code.
I have put my most important changes on my website:

The coolest features of Emacs
are IMHO are the dabbrev and the customisable
syntax highlighting.
I have defined some predicate variables that
have different values depending on what system you are on.
Example:
emacs-dialect--dosemacs-p
emacs-dialect--xemacs-p
emacs-dialect--gnuemacs-p
os-type--microsoft-p
os-type--linux-p
os-type--mswindows-p
os-type--msdos-p
os-type--graphical-p
os-type--text-p
os-type--graphical-p
Wouldn't it be good if similar
functions were available as
standard commands, since
they are so useful?
