I am often running Emacs with multiple windows.  In my opinion the “C-x o” key-combination is too cumbersome, and I never use the “open-line” function “C-o” is bound to, so I’m always using “global-set-key” to bind “C-o” to “other-window”.  How can I put that key binding in my “.emacs” file so that this key binding is remembered and I don’t have to keep executing “global-set-key” manually?
