Even More Batteries Included with Emacs
Key takeaways
- Emacs features have a discoverability problem, and we re chipping away at it one demo at a time.
- This is the third in a series of articles highlighting useful but lesser-known features included in Emacs.
- Roughly, it means that at the time of writing, I have seen these features mentioned fewer than five times – and often never – in the past two decades of dipping in and out of online Emacs discourse.
Emacs features have a discoverability problem, and we re chipping away at it one demo at a time. The years since I wrote the last one of these have yielded more surprising and useful finds, so it s time again for a batteries included report.
This is the third in a series of articles highlighting useful but lesser-known features included in Emacs.
Lesser-known is a subjective judgment.

Some of the features covered in past entries are well known and often recommended today. I claim no credit.
