You NEED to learn about keyboard macros. And C-&#x2F; (which is undo).<p>Actually, it helps to be around other emacs users. I&#x27;ve seen people do something magic and I stop them so I can learn the trick. Usually they have to do it again before they can explain it because most emacs users have everything &quot;in their fingers&quot;. Musicians are the same.<p>I would credit emacs with 50% of my productivity. Learn it well. It pays huge rewards.
