The most convenient way to set a specific user option variable is with @kbd{M-x set-variable}. This reads the variable name with the minibuffer (with completion), and then reads a Lisp expression for the -new value using the minibuffer a second time. For example, +new value using the minibuffer a second time (you can insert the old +value into the minibuffer for editing via @kbd{M-n}). For example, @example M-x set-variable @key{RET} fill-column @key{RET} 75 @key{RET} -- 2.39.5
