Emacs Commands

here are a bunch of commands that i frequently use in Emacs.

1. cut : space to select and then cntl+w
2. copy: space and alt + w
3. paste: cntl + y
4. begining of line : cntl + a
5. end of line : cntl + e
6. split screen : cntl+x 3
7. increase screen size : cntl+x cntl+{
8. if u wana execute a command "n" times
alt+ N and then the command
9. switch between buffer cntl+x and B
10. switch a read only buffer cntl+x cntl+q
11. switch betwen frames cntl+x O



and how do I browse my c/c++ code in emacs I use etags.
but creating etags can be such a pain sometimes. it doesnt have a -R (recursive) option
and we have to provide each input file to create a tag file. this is how i do it.

i use a find command to find all the cpp and hpp files that i need and pipe it to etags and ask it to append it to an existing tag file.

find . -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.hpp" | etags -o TagFile -

note the - at the end of the command.


more to come but if you have some interesting trick do comment me.
