Hi Welcome to Emacs Rocks!

0:00:03.033,0:00:07.384
I just started using Emacs. I've been using TextMate for a few years and

0:00:08.122,0:00:12.234
I've been looking for something else. I tried vim, it's nice.

0:00:13.495,0:00:16.858
But I've been using Emacs for a few weeks now and

0:00:16.858,0:00:21.400
I'm really loving it, it's awesome. So I was thinking,

0:00:21.400,0:00:26.190
Hey! All this cool stuff I have to share with someone - and that's you!

0:00:26.467,0:00:32.200
So this is the first episode. If you want to see more, there's a

0:00:32.200,0:00:36.900
just follow me @emacsrocks on Twitter. Ok, First trick

0:00:39.869,0:00:46.633
I've been doing some Javascript testing lately and every so often I get to these situations

0:00:46.633,0:00:51.041
I have some local variables and I want to extract them into the setup method

0:00:51.348,0:00:53.157
So let's do that

0:01:05.003,0:01:08.900
Ok, for these variables to be available in my tests

0:01:08.900,0:01:12.933
I have to assign them to the test object, this.

0:01:13.394,0:01:14.479
And here is the trick.

0:01:17.879,0:01:23.010
Pay close attention to the keys I'm pressing

0:01:23.071,0:01:27.231
they appear in the lower right-hand corner and I will repeat it afterwards

0:01:38.792,0:01:40.375
Wow!

0:01:40.929,0:01:44.700
Did you see that? That's amazing. Let's try it again.

0:01:48.682,0:01:52.869
It's important that I start where I start now, just at the var

0:01:53.423,0:02:00.700
Because when I search for "l" like this, the mark is saved where my search started

0:02:00.700,0:02:04.691
so the mark is now at the beginning of the first var

0:02:04.691,0:02:10.840
the mark and the point of the cursor, together they form a region

0:02:10.840,0:02:14.721
including the three vars and the space afterwards.

0:02:14.721,0:02:19.684
So let me do: Control-x rectangle text

0:02:21.155,0:02:25.475
Which will replace the contents of the region with whatever I write.

0:02:27.215,0:02:29.641
That rocks!

0:02:31.185,0:02:36.571
So if we check up rectangles in the manual, here is the command I used

0:02:40.149,0:02:43.352
That was the first episode, thanks for watching

0:02:43.352,9:59:59.000
and follow me on @emacsrocks if you want more. Thanks.
