Nice! You can find a lot of these by reading the Emacs info pages closely...never noticed that one.
My favorite "wish I had known about that sooner" part is iswitchb-mode -- it tremendously improves buffer switching, IMHO. (I usually filter the buffer list with iswitchb and then hold C-k to close buffers.) It makes the buffer switch prompt in the minibuffer behave like dmenu (http://www.suckless.org/programs/dmenu.html http://www.suckless.org/programs/dmenu.html), for people who are already big fans of one or the other.
Also variously cool/vital: flyspell, keyboard macros, the mark and kill rings, abbrev, set-goal-column, C-x zzzzzz.

- litewulf 18y agoIf you like abbrev, try out pabbrev, its even more awesome. (Theres also another predictive abbrevation mode that seems to have better UI, but I had difficulty getting it working in my "I will spend 30 minutes mucking with my .emacs" moment)
