I understand someone has written up a config file (forgot what the special setting files are called) for screen writing formatting on emacs, but, as I said, when I'm writing, I'm in a different mode, and I just can't remember all the keystroke commands. It's hard to explain, but I can use vi or other console editors and have no issue while programming, but once I switch gears and start writing fiction, my brain works completely differently.
