Hi! Welcome back to Emacs rocks!

2
00:00:03,436 --> 00:00:08,125
It's episode 2 and today I have a real treat for you. Check it out!

3
00:00:08,125 --> 00:00:10,562
It's VimGolf! Yay!

4
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:15,925
VimGolf is really cool, I really wish there was one for Emacs.

5
00:00:17,292 --> 00:00:21,371
It's a competition and the goal is to transform

6
00:00:21,387 --> 00:00:23,662
the starting file into the ending file

7
00:00:23,662 --> 00:00:26,800
in as few keystrokes as possible.

8
00:00:29,508 --> 00:00:33,244
So, this is challenge number 6 and

9
00:00:33,244 --> 00:00:39,152
there is a one to ten in letters and a one to ten in numbers

10
00:00:39,152 --> 00:00:43,923
and the goal is to get the one to ten lined up in two columns.

11
00:00:45,382 --> 00:00:49,790
So the best score into Vim is 17, is the winning score.

12
00:00:51,052 --> 00:00:54,233
So let's see if Emacs might do a little bit better.

13
00:01:12,833 --> 00:01:17,005
Ok, I'll run through it one time without commentary

14
00:01:17,021 --> 00:01:20,259
and then I'll run through it again and tell you what I'm doing.

15
00:01:20,259 --> 00:01:22,789
So pay attention to the keystrokes.

16
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,825
Haha! Now wasn't that awesome.

17
00:01:50,008 --> 00:01:53,167
Let's see it again in slow motion.

18
00:02:01,621 --> 00:02:04,246
Ok, now we are back to the start.

19
00:02:04,938 --> 00:02:09,282
This is the first episode where I use macros but it won't be the last!

20
00:02:09,282 --> 00:02:12,413
Macros is a powerhorse in Emacs.

21
00:02:12,413 --> 00:02:15,656
So I start by defining a macro pressing F3

22
00:02:15,656 --> 00:02:21,887
then jump to the bottom and I delete all.

23
00:02:22,385 --> 00:02:27,429
This puts it into the kill ring and I erase the space

24
00:02:27,429 --> 00:02:30,136
and then I press Control-9

25
00:02:30,136 --> 00:02:32,690
Control-9 doesn't do anything on it's own,

26
00:02:32,690 --> 00:02:35,675
but it makes my next command repeat 9 times.

27
00:02:36,775 --> 00:02:41,931
Which is command p for previous line, 9 lines up

28
00:02:42,498 --> 00:02:48,579
Control-E, tab, yank, and my macro is finished.

29
00:02:48,579 --> 00:02:52,175
So I press F4 to complete my macro and now

30
00:02:52,175 --> 00:02:57,631
I can run that macro nine times, Control-9 F4.

31
00:02:58,467 --> 00:03:00,105
Done.

32
00:03:00,105 --> 00:03:03,008
And that was 12 keystrokes.

33
00:03:03,008 --> 00:03:06,748
Let me remind tou, best in Vim, 17.

34
00:03:07,485 --> 00:03:09,944
So, to reiterate

35
00:03:11,621 --> 00:03:14,525
Emacs rocks!
