I am just wondering how to enable the superword-mode globally?
I tried to enable it following the answers found here:
How to enable ido-mode forever?
, using:
(require 'superword-mode)
(superword-mode t)
But I am getting an error:
File is missing: Cannot open load file, No such file or directory, superword-mode
I am using Emacs 26 under Ubuntu 18.04. Using M-x superword-mode manually enables the mode right. But I just don't want to enable the mode every time.
I also tried (superword-mode t) alone, but it does not work and emacs is still stopping at underscores when moving forward a word (M-f).
I guess a related question is, is there a generic way of enabling a minor mode?

I tried:
(require 'superword)
as suggested in the comments. But I am still getting the same error:
Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/user/.emacs.d/init.el’:
File is missing: Cannot open load file, No such file or directory, superword
This is with GNU Emacs 26.2 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 3.22.30)
C-h f require. – Drew Jun 13 '19 at 19:32superword-modeis defined in the librarysubwordof Emacs 26.2 so it must be(require 'subword)instead of(require 'superword). On the other handsubwordis bundled with Emacs 26.2 and the mode function it is autoloaded sorequireshould not be necessary. No idea what is going on there. Maybe, the OP tried to install some other shadowing version and that failed. E.g., an emptysubword.elsomewhere with higher prio inload-pathwould display such effects. – Tobias Jun 13 '19 at 21:07emacs -Q. Note for Windows-users: You can startemacs -Qfrom a running Emacs byM-& emacs -Q <RET>. – Tobias Jun 13 '19 at 21:10(require 'subword)should help. But, you should seriously check your installation in that case. – Tobias Jun 13 '19 at 21:14
