Emacs

Emacs word completion

Complete in local buffer

M-/ binds to dabbrev-expand, it’s very much like Vim’s insert mode C-n

Hippie expansion

Not enabled by default, tries to complete whatever’s at the point in many different ways: dabbrev, ffap, etc.

Org outline keyboard shortcuts

New outline node

• C-ret works when the point is anywhere in a node.
• C-ret at column 0 of an outline creates a node above the point

Promote/demote entire subtree

C-c C-< or C-c C->

Promote-demote current heading

M-left / M-right with point on heading. Example: move from note to heading and promote. C-c C-p M-right

Move subtree up / down

M-S-up and M-S-down – easy, no?

Motion commands

• C-c C-u moves up to the previous level outline
• C-c C-n moves to the next visible outline
• C-c C-p moves to the previous visible outline
• C-c C-b / C-c C-f moves to the next outline at the same level
• Example: move up a level and jump to the previous node of that same level: C-c C-u C-c C-b

Mark subtree

C-c @

Notes & plain lists

• M-ret inserts a new list node. M-ret at column 0 inserts node above point
• M-S-ret inserts a list node with check box
• Toggle checkboxes with C-c C-x C-b

Dates

Join lines

Equivalent of J in vim: M-^. Smart about throwing away whitespace.

narrow / widen

Narrow to current function definition

C-x n d

Widen to entire buffer

C-x n w

show images inline

Only works with file links, for example

In org-mode buffers press to toggle: C-c C-x C-v
