Emacs: Advanced Editing with Mark and Region commands

In this video I share some more advanced examples of interacting with the mark and region. They're summarized here. Kill-ring - a ring-buffer of previously wiped text, access with C-y, then repeated M-y. M-@ - select next word, and repeat this command to expand the region M-h - select whole paragraph (e.g. function in code) C-x h (or C-x C-p) - select whole buffer (e.g. copy whole file) transient-mark-mode - enabled by default, this minor mode highlights the active region after you set the mark C-u C-SPC - Cycle through the ring of previously set marks (e.g. bookmark points in the file). 00:00 Intro 00:24 Kill-ring and multiple yanks 01:43 Expanding the region by word 02:19 Selecting functions and whole files 02:56 Transient Mark Mode 03:56 The mark ring 04:53 C-x C-x 05:29 Thank you!
