recording in emacs

[Nilesh N. Dalvi]

Hi,

I wanted to know if there is anything in EMACS which is analogous to
the recording function of VIM, which allows you to record the various
editing done and then apply it to some other file or other context.
I find it very useful sometimes..

Nilesh.

Have you had a look at macros yet?

Start one using C-x (

(do your editing)

end it using C-x )

And then you can edit the macro, save it, rerun it, whatever.

C-h i m emacs RET m keyboard macros RET

The above will take you to the info node about this.
