gif1: It seems the multiple-cursors package does this, though I don't quite see the point when you have regex-replace. gif2: I typically do this kind of stuff with CUA-rectangles: http://trey-jackson.blogspot.no/2008/10/emacs-tip-26-cua-mode-specifically.html http://trey-jackson.blogspot.no/2008/10/emacs-tip-26-cua-mod... Looks about the same. gif3: looks like M-x, though there are newer alternatives to M-x like smex that do more fancy matching: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Smex http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Smex I feel like I'm faster with plain M-x, though haven't really given smex much of a chance gif4: There's a million packages that do this in various different ways (using recent files, VC-tracked files, bookmarks, Meta-dot with TAGS or parsers to go from symbols to definitions, etc.). I suppose people have different preferences for how to navigate quickly to other files. gif5: M-x occur is built-in. There's also multi-occur to show over several files, or occur-edit to edit directly from the list of hits without going into the file itself, etc. gif6: regex-replace also has been built-in forever, mc/mark-all-in-region-regexp seems to match this UI more closely though. But I'm sure lots of the newer Emacs packages have been inspired by Sublime or TextMate (or vim!) :-)
