A Common Lisp Quick Reference
Bert Burgemeister has a very nice Common Lisp Quick Reference available for download. The idea is that you print it out, fold the pages, and staple them to form a little booklet. He’s got copies for A4 and letter size … Continue reading
Multiplication Table In Emacs Revisited

Multiplication Table In Emacs Lisp
Xah Lee saw my post about Tim Visher’s video on building a multiplication table in Emacs and decided to experiment. Visher’s video was in the context of VimGolf where the goal was to build the table in the minimum number … Continue reading

Delete Backwards To BOL in Emacs
This is another short Emacs tip that’s really a note to myself. The other day, I found myself in the middle of a line and needed to delete everything back to the beginning-of-line. I was sure there was some way … Continue reading
Eval And Replace In Emacs
I was watching another of Tim Visher’s VimGolf videos in which he builds a multiplication table by the clever use of keyboard macros. What got my attention, however, was his use of the function eval-and-replace that evaluates the sexp preceding … Continue reading
Transposing In Emacs
