Who is this guy? - Part 2
Tuesday, January 23, 2007
About a
year ago, I commented on the quality of the postings on the
programming musings blog. Well, José Antonio Ortega Ruiz has now
created a
companion emacs blog. Since I haven't come across many good-quality emacs-focused
blogs, I thought that this blog would be worth mentioning.
Some of the things that I learned from his recent postings:
- You can use "M-x wdired-change-to-wdired-mode" to directly edit file names in a dired buffer.
- You can actually edit the last recorded keyboard macro with kmacro-edit-lossage (Emacs 22 only). Just type "C-x C-k l" and you'll be teletransported to a *Edit macro* buffer where you can edit your last keystrokes and record them as needed. (actually, I already knew about this one, but I think that it's such a neat feature, it's worth mentioning anyhow!)
- To quickly hide all function bodies in a source file, you can use "C-1 C-x $" (use "C-x $" to un-hide them).
