+;;; Interface
+
+;; I want to make sure that various bits of the interface are hidden.  but this isn't an "all gui chrome is useless" rampage.  I personally think the scrollbar is useful, i like the visual indication it gives of how far i am through a file.
+
+;; At the moment, explicitly disabling the menu bar and tool bar does nothing, because i already set there to be no lines displayed for the tool and menu bars in my early-init.el file.
+;; (setopt

+;; 	tool-bar-mode nil

+
+;; Tooltips are little popups next to the mouse cursor.  I think this information is helpful, but i like it to appear in a more consistent position, because i find it frustrating when popups cover parts of the ui that i wanted to see.  By disabling tooltip-mode, the contents that would be in a popup is instead shown in the echo area.

 ;; A useful feature when programming is to show matching parentheses.  Show-paren-mode is a global mode.  By default it runs in all buffers except those inheriting from special mode.
