- throwaway_pdp09 6y agoOr next-paragraph/last-paragraph movement. Or all movement combined with prefixes. I regularly do C-u C-u C-p to jump sixteen lines backwards. Or add another prefix and it's 64 lines. Separately, macros, yea! Macros with regexes FTW! The counter you can use in macros - occasionally very useful! M-x occur! Dired which can search a whole directory tree of file contents for a regexp! So much more. Only thing worse than emacs interface is not having emacs at all.
