Hi Welcome to Emacs Rocks!

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

00:00:51.348 --> 00:00:53.157
So let's do that

00:01:05.003 --> 00:01:08.900
Ok, for these variables to be available in my tests

00:01:08.900 --> 00:01:12.933
I have to assign them to the test object, this.

00:01:13.394 --> 00:01:14.479
And here is the trick.

00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:23.010
Pay close attention to the keys I'm pressing

00:01:23.071 --> 00:01:27.231
they appear in the lower right-hand corner and I will repeat it afterwards

00:01:38.792 --> 00:01:40.375
Wow!

00:01:40.929 --> 00:01:44.700
Did you see that? That's amazing. Let's try it again.

00:01:48.682 --> 00:01:52.869
It's important that I start where I start now, just at the var

00:01:53.423 --> 00:02:00.700
Because when I search for "l" like this, the mark is saved where my search started

00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:04.691
so the mark is now at the beginning of the first var

00:02:04.691 --> 00:02:10.840
the mark and the point of the cursor, together they form a region

00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:14.721
including the three vars and the space afterwards.

00:02:14.721 --> 00:02:19.684
So let me do: Control-x rectangle text

00:02:21.155 --> 00:02:25.475
Which will replace the contents of the region with whatever I write.

00:02:27.215 --> 00:02:29.641
That rocks!

00:02:31.185 --> 00:02:36.571
So if we check up rectangles in the manual, here is the command I used

00:02:40.149 --> 00:02:43.352
That was the first episode, thanks for watching

00:02:43.352 --> 99:59:59.999
and follow me on @emacsrocks if you want more. Thanks.
