I don't understand what "global" means

[Trevoke]

I set the variable to true and save it, but then when I use "command-log-mode" it still is only turning on for a single buffer.

@Trevoke Here's my understanding:
There are 2 commands:

• (command-log-mode &optional ARG) toggles the command logging for the current buffer. Nothing else.
• (global-command-log-mode &optional ARG) toggles the command logging for all buffers.

The commands are minor modes. The first is a buffer local minor mode, the second is a global minor mode.

Ah I see, that makes sense, thanks.
