00:00:00,729 --> 00:00:04,500
Welcome to emacs rocks, episode four.

2
00:00:04,500 --> 00:00:07,600
Today I'll go all controversial on you -

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:11,033
and rebind some emacs keys.

4
00:00:11,033 --> 00:00:13,259
That's what emacs is all about isn't it?

5
00:00:13,259 --> 00:00:15,867
Sharpening that knife.

6
00:00:15,867 --> 00:00:19,659
But first, a cool set of keystrokes.

7
00:00:20,341 --> 00:00:24,567
I'm switching to buster.js for my javascript tests these days

8
00:00:24,567 --> 00:00:28,133
and the syntax is slightly different

9
00:00:28,133 --> 00:00:33,533
watch how quickly I can go from one to the other

10
00:00:33,933 --> 00:00:36,459
done! hah

11
00:00:37,967 --> 00:00:41,267
did you see the first keystroke?

12
00:00:41,267 --> 00:00:43,932
ctrl-s is excellent for navigating

13
00:00:43,932 --> 00:00:46,533
but for short distances, it's suboptimal

14
00:00:46,533 --> 00:00:49,033
watch this

15
00:00:49,033 --> 00:00:56,703
I have to press enter to exit from the search, to start typing

16
00:00:56,703 --> 00:01:00,633
so let vim show the way with its excellent F-command

17
00:01:00,633 --> 00:01:03,800
move to char

18
00:01:03,800 --> 00:01:09,033
there's an extension called iy-go-to-char that does much the same

19
00:01:09,033 --> 00:01:13,167
I mapped it to meta-m, as in move

20
00:01:13,167 --> 00:01:16,900
yes, that keystroke is usually back to indentation

21
00:01:16,900 --> 00:01:21,100
but I find a much better mnemonic for that is meta-i

22
00:01:21,100 --> 00:01:26,110
so ... meta-m t, and I can press period right away

23
00:01:26,110 --> 00:01:29,400
meta-l for lower case,

24
00:01:29,400 --> 00:01:32,033
which conveniently moves my cursor to the end of the word

25
00:01:32,033 --> 00:01:34,900
forward, and transpose-word

26
00:01:34,900 --> 00:01:39,933
we had transpose-line and transpose-char in a previous episode

27
00:01:39,933 --> 00:01:44,400
so this is transpose-word ... nice, huh?

28
00:01:44,400 --> 00:01:48,767
so, iy-go-to-char - you can just google it

29
00:01:48,767 --> 00:01:50,759
it's really nice

30
00:01:50,759 --> 00:01:55,033
you don't have to bind it to the same key as me if you find that controversial

31
00:01:55,033 --> 00:02:01,208
I see that the suggested keystroke is ctrl-c f

32
00:02:01,208 --> 00:02:04,273
since it's supposed to be a short command for quick navigation,

33
00:02:04,273 --> 00:02:06,900
I want to have it on one keystroke

34
00:02:06,900 --> 00:02:10,519
let's take a look at another example

35
00:02:10,519 --> 00:02:14,000
here's a misspelled word - and another

36
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:17,267
to quickly fix those I press:

37
00:02:17,267 --> 00:02:20,133
meta-m p e

38
00:02:20,133 --> 00:02:22,900
meta-m o, and o again, t

39
00:02:23,577 --> 00:02:26,295
very nice

40
00:02:26,787 --> 00:02:28,054
that was episode four

41
00:02:28,054 --> 00:02:29,646
hope you enjoyed it

42
00:02:29,646 --> 00:02:31,369
see you next time
