 * Mac OS X
 
-  I run this configuration mostly on Mac OS X, so we need a couple of settings
-  to make things work smoothly. In the package section =exec-path-from-shell=
-  is included (only if you're running OS X), this is to include
-  environment-variables from the shell. It makes using Emacs along with
-  external processes a lot simpler. I also prefer using the =Command=-key as
-  the =Meta=-key.
+  I run this configuration mostly on macOS, so we need a couple of settings to
+  make things work smoothly. I use the =Command=-key as the =Meta=-key, Freeing
+  up the =Option=-key, which I need for typing Norwegian characters on a US
+  keyboard. In addition, it is more comfortable.
+
+  I try to minimize the use of frames. The native compilation gives a lot of
+  warnings, but they seem safe to ignore.

+  The package [[https://github.com/purcell/exec-path-from-shell][exec-path-from-shell]] synchronizes environment variables from the
+  shell to Emacs. This makes it a lot easier to deal with external programs on
+  macOS.

+  I had some problems with Dired, and this seems to have solved it. I /think/

+  It is useful to be able to occasionally open the file associated with a
+  buffer in macOS Finder.

 * Sane defaults
 
   These are what /I/ consider to be saner defaults.
