Use Emacs DIRED and keyboard macros
About this film
In this screen cast I showcase the potential of combining dired , the built-in Emacs file manager, with keyboard macros. This allows us to perform an arbitrary number of tasks in a collection of files that are grouped together as a directory or dynamically (with search tools like find-name-dired ). The idea is that we can use keyboard macros to perform changes visually across all our files, without having to think about complex regular expressions for the necessary search+replace actions. And here is my own config file, with tweaks for Dired and others: protesilaos.com/emacs/dotemacs .
