Bill over at ATMakers has a short video on Why I Use Emacs. He’s a long term user and the reasons are many, he says, but the video is just one example showing how Emacs can make repetitive tasks easier.
The problem is that he has a list of two columns that he wants to mark up with HTML. The video shows how to do this using keyboard macros. It’s a natural solution and the video shows how easy it is. To be sure, it’s an elementary application of keyboard macros so the video is most suited for someone asking “Why do you use Emacs?” Still, even more experienced folks may enjoy it.
The video is only 6 minutes and 15 seconds so it should be easy to find time to view it if you’re interested.
