Emacs Tips

+

Posted 2007-05-22, updated 2021-07-01.

+

These are some emacs keybindings (and other functions) that I once found useful. I’ve mostly used Sublime Text for the last few years, however.

+

Editing

+

C-[SPC]: set mark
+C-x C-x: exchange point and mark
+C-w: kill (AKA “cut”)
+M-w: kill-ring-save (AKA “copy”)
+C-y: yank (AKA “paste”)
+M-h: Put region around current paragraph (mark-paragraph).
+C-x h: Put region around the entire buffer (mark-whole-buffer).
+C-u C-[SPC]: Move in mark ring
+M-d: Kill word
+M-[DEL]: Kill word backwards
+C-M-k: Kill the following balanced expression (kill-sexp)

+

Registers

+

C-x r r: Save position of point in register r (point-to-register).
+C-x r j r: Jump to the position saved in register r (jump-to-register).
+C-x r s r: Copy region into register r (copy-to-register).
+C-x r i r: Insert text from register r (insert-register).

+

Bookmarks

+

C-x r m [RET]: Set the bookmark for the visited file, at point.
+C-x r m bookmark [RET]: Set the bookmark named bookmark at point (bookmark-set).
+C-x r b bookmark [RET]: Jump to the bookmark named bookmark (bookmark-jump).
+C-x r l: List all bookmarks (list-bookmarks).
+M-x bookmark-save: Save all the current bookmark values in the default bookmark file.

+

Miscellaneous

+

M-` shows the menu.
+M-x highlight-changes-mode toggles showing the changes you’ve made to the file since the last save.

Embedding fonts in PDFs

To check whether fonts are embedded, use pdffonts, which is included with xpdf. pdffonts gives output that looks like this:

$ pdffonts paper.pdf
