## 2 EDE Mode

EDE is implemented as a minor mode, which augments other modes such as C mode, and Texinfo mode. You can enable EDE for all buffers by running the command `global-ede-mode`, or by putting this in your init file:

    (global-ede-mode t)

Activating EDE adds a menu named ‘`Development`’ to the menu bar. This menu provides several menu items for high-level EDE commands. These menu items, and their corresponding keybindings, are independent of the type of project you are actually working on.
