The name, then M-x apropos ( C-u C-h a) will help you search theĭocumentation. There's a function that does what you want, but don't quite remember Is a good place to figure out what you need to know. What you need to do ("working with buffers"), then the Lisp reference There areĪ number of sources that provide this. Way you know what features Emacs provides.Īfter you do that, you need "micro-level" information. You really need to sit down and read the whole thing.
#Emacs lisp manual
That is what the Emacs Lisp manual aims to educate Lisp"), you need to approach it on both the micro and macro scale.īefore you can start writing software, you need to know what tools you Programming language and set of libraries (collectively, "Emacs I think you are taking the wrong approach. When you find the build-in manual not understandable (which sometimes does happen), then it's time for you to google the function ) Of course you can't learn lisp this way, but for looking up documentation of function this is a nice starter. The good thing also is the build-in manual give you "link" to to the source code of the function and to other functions that might be related, which make it nice to browse around. This construct does not save `deactivate-mark', and thereforeįunctions that change the buffer will still cause deactivation The state of activation of the mark is also restored. The values of point, mark and the current buffer are restoredĮven in case of abnormal exit (throw or error). Save point, mark, and current buffer execute BODY restore those things. Emacs will give you a fairly concise description of the function/variable.įor example, the manual content for (save-excursion) is save-excursion is a special form in `C source code'. Have you tried the build-in manual in emacs? Open any lisp buffer (or any buffer in lisp mode), move your point to any function or variable, and hit C-h f (for function) or C-h v (for variable).
