Show Notes

Hi folks,

Given that my Emacs tour from 2 weeks ago is in 2nd place overall on views, I'm gonna see how far I can push my luck, and do another one about Emacs.

Apologies to the podcast listeners. I narrate everything but this probably isn't that fun to listen to without seeing what I'm doing. Let me know.

This episode is a bit more disjointed than usual because I actually had about 90 minutes of material and I had to edit heavily.  I can always redo the parts I edited out in a future episode, if this content is what people would like to see more of.

Today I spend less time on fancy packages, and more time on fundamental editing features and principles.  I talk quite a bit about particular key bindings and other settings, and how they can make a dramatic difference to your overall efficiency while you edit text.  So this is more hands-on than the last tour.

If you find this content interesting and you'd like me to keep producing it, please like the video, subscribe to the channel, and if possible, share it with others.  It was reeeeeeally hard to motivate myself to do an episode at all today, Emacs or no.  I'm sure some increased channel growth would help ensure that I can keep doing this week in and week out for a long time to come. Anything you can to do help would be appreciated.

Anyway, enjoy, and feedback is welcome as always.
