I'll claim authorship of push-line-other-window. I'm glad to hear you find it useful. Here are * a couple of refinements * how I created this in the first place - you may find this useful for other applications * another useful macro -------------------------------------------------- Refinements Instead of C-x p, I now have it bound to M-o and C-t, either of which is easier to type repeatedly. (define-key esc-map "o" 'push-line-other-window) (global-set-key "\C-t" 'push-line-other-window) I now have a slightly more efficient version of the fset command in my .emacs. I can't send that in an email message, because it includes some control characters, but I'll attach a small zip file that contains the definition. -------------------------------------------------- Origination I created a macro that did what I want, then saved the macro into .emacs. Steps are: C-x ( start-kbd-macro give the sequences of commands that does what you want C-x ) end-kbd-macro M-x name-last-kbd-macro (give a name) ; In your .emacs: M-x insert-kbd-macro ; Optionally, in your .emacs, bind it to a key sequence. -------------------------------------------------- I've created a bunch of such macros, though you don't want most of them :-) Here's one that's generally useful: (fset 'double-line [escape ?k ?\C-e ? ?z ?z ?z ? ?\C-y ?\C-n ?\C-a]) ; insert zzz between copies, can replace that with something needed, or delete With C-u, you can use that to do the same thing for many lines. E.g. do C-u 3 M-x double-line to convert: foo bar zed to: foo zzz foo bar zzz bar zed zzz zed which you can then use other editing commands to convert to: mv foo.txt foo.dat mv bar.txt bar.dat mv zed.txt zed.dat Naturally, you will want to use push-line-other-window to send those commands to a shell window :-) Tim Hesterberg On Wed, Nov 19, 2008 at 8:58 AM, Charles C.
