Efficient Text Selection with Emacs Key Bindings - Emacs Essentials #3
System Crafters
In this video, we'll learn how to efficiently select text using Emacs' built-in key bindings! We cover the "mark," the region, and the various ways we can use those to select text. I'll also tell you about the "mark ring" and how it can be a very quick way to navigate back to previous locations you visited in the buffers you are editing!
