Emacs: Change the case of N words in one go
Published on Dec 12, 2021, by Junji Zhi
digit-argument
+ negative-argument
= Great way to maintain editing tempo.
For example:
- to capitalize three words forward, you can do
M-3 M-c
. - for three words backward, you can apply the negative argument:
M-- M-3 M-c
This way, your hand don't need to move away from the meta
key and
maintain editing tempo.
Note: For Doom Emacs, M--
is mapped to decrease font size instead,
which I don't use often, so I have to switch it back:
(global-set-key (kbd "M--") 'negative-argument)
