Hi! Welcome back to Emacs rocks!

0:00:03.436,0:00:08.125
It's episode 2 and today I have a real treat for you. Check it out!

0:00:08.125,0:00:10.562
It's VimGolf! Yay!

0:00:11.900,0:00:15.925
VimGolf is really cool, I really wish there was one for Emacs.

0:00:17.292,0:00:21.371
It's a competition and the goal is to transform

0:00:21.387,0:00:23.662
the starting file into the ending file

0:00:23.662,0:00:26.800
in as few keystrokes as possible.

0:00:29.508,0:00:33.244
So, this is challenge number 6 and

0:00:33.244,0:00:39.152
there is a one to ten in letters and a one to ten in numbers

0:00:39.152,0:00:43.923
and the goal is to get the one to ten lined up in two columns.

0:00:45.382,0:00:49.790
So the best score into Vim is 17, is the winning score.

0:00:51.052,0:00:54.233
So let's see if Emacs might do a little bit better.

0:01:12.833,0:01:17.005
Ok, I'll run through it one time without commentary

0:01:17.021,0:01:20.259
and then I'll run through it again and tell you what I'm doing.

0:01:20.259,0:01:22.789
So pay attention to the keystrokes.

0:01:46.000,0:01:49.825
Haha! Now wasn't that awesome.

0:01:50.008,0:01:53.167
Let's see it again in slow motion.

0:02:01.621,0:02:04.246
Ok, now we are back to the start.

0:02:04.938,0:02:09.282
This is the first episode where I use macros but it won't be the last!

0:02:09.282,0:02:12.413
Macros is a powerhorse in Emacs.

0:02:12.413,0:02:15.656
So I start by defining a macro pressing F3

0:02:15.656,0:02:21.887
then jump to the bottom and I delete all.

0:02:22.385,0:02:27.429
This puts it into the kill ring and I erase the space

0:02:27.429,0:02:30.136
and then I press Control-9

0:02:30.136,0:02:32.690
Control-9 doesn't do anything on it's own,

0:02:32.690,0:02:35.675
but it makes my next command repeat 9 times.

0:02:36.775,0:02:41.931
Which is command p for previous line, 9 lines up

0:02:42.498,0:02:48.579
Control-E, tab, yank, and my macro is finished.

0:02:48.579,0:02:52.175
So I press F4 to complete my macro and now

0:02:52.175,0:02:57.631
I can run that macro nine times, Control-9 F4.

0:02:58.467,0:03:00.105
Done.

0:03:00.105,0:03:03.008
And that was 12 keystrokes.

0:03:03.008,0:03:06.748
Let me remind tou, best in Vim, 17.

0:03:07.485,0:03:09.944
So, to reiterate

0:03:11.621,0:03:14.525
Emacs rocks!
