4.3. Emacs - The End (Well at Least the Last Slide)

Basic search in emacs is done with C-s.
Search and replace is done with M-%.
Emacs does syntax highlighting. You can easily enable this by selecting it in the Options menu.
Emacs will align your source code automatically. You can use the tab key to re-align a specific line. Always re-align from top to bottom.
You can recopmile your code while inside Emacs. Type M-x compile. A new buffer will open and it will display compilation results. You can go through them easily while having your cursor jump to where the errors are using C-x `. (backquote).
To maximize the current buffer to cover all of the Emacs window use C-x 1, (C-x 2 will split the buffer)
We will look at a little example program that we will edit & compile with Emacs: test.c.
A useful time saver: expand abbreviations with M-/.
