Great emacs blog
Someone asked me a while back to post more emacs tips. Well, I haven't posted much of anything over the summer break, but I did just find a new blog minor emacs wizardry by the author of a smalltalk/lisp blog that I read occasionally, programming musings.
I learned an amazing feature of the dired mode, that with the command wdired-change-to-wdired-mode command you can make the directory view editable. Eg. if you do a search and replace in the buffer (using normal commands), the files will be renamed. Cool! There's also a neat emacs lisp fragment to keep an eye on open memory allocations in your Objective-C code (Define your own keywords). Mind you, I can't wait for the Objective-C garbage collector that will be standard in OSX 10.5 :) Possibly the most useful productivity addition (especially for an emacs-using team - if I can find one these days...) is linkd.el which allows you to embed internal and external hyperlinks in emacs so you can, eg, put links in your code comments to relevant files, sections, or web pages. Update: For GTD (Getting Things Done) fans out there, I linked through to a page on using the emacs org-mode for implementing GTD.
