Emacs Rocks! Episode 07: Mind. Exploded.

0:01 - 0:04

welcome back to emacs rocks!
0:04 - 0:07

I just had my mind exploded!
0:07 - 0:09

this guy,
0:09 - 0:11

the eminent Babenhauserheide,
0:11 - 0:14

sent a tip to key-chord-mode
0:14 - 0:15

man!
0:15 - 0:18

David Andersson has made an extension
0:18 - 0:23

that let you bind commands to simultaneously pressed keys
0:23 - 0:25

let me repeat that
0:25 - 0:27

you press two keys at the same time,
0:27 - 0:30

and commands get run
0:30 - 0:33

wow!
0:33 - 0:37

in episode four, I was drooling over vims awesome F-key
0:37 - 0:41

and bound that to meta-m - which is fine
0:41 - 0:45

but certainly not as fast as just pressing F
0:45 - 0:50

and speed is essential to these micro-optimization navigation tricks
0:50 - 0:53

now watch this
0:53 - 0:55

I press f and g at the same time ...
0:55 - 0:56

BOOM!
0:56 - 0:58

forward!
1:00 - 1:01

and even better,
1:01 - 1:04

f and d to move backward again
1:06 - 1:09

here, let me show you another one
1:09 - 1:11

double tap semicolon
1:11 - 1:14

and it's placed at the end of the line
1:14 - 1:17

and here's all the code it took
1:22 - 1:25

I'm awestruck
1:25 -

emacs - it is truly the greatest editor on the planet
