2.8 Registers

Registers allow you to save a text position or chunk of text associated with a key-event. This is a convenient way to repeatedly access a commonly-used location or text fragment. The concept and key bindings should be familiar to TECO users.

Command: Save Position (bound to C-x s) ¶

Command: Jump to Saved Position (bound to C-x j) ¶

These commands manipulate registers containing textual positions. Save Position prompts for a register and saves the location of the current point in that register. Jump to Saved Position prompts for a register and moves the point to the position saved in that register. If the saved position is in a different buffer, then that buffer is made current.

Command: Put Register (bound to C-x x) ¶

Command: Get Register (bound to C-x g) ¶

These commands manipulate registers containing text. Put Register prompts for a register and puts the text in the current region into the register. Get Register prompts for a register and inserts the text in that register at the current point.

Command: List Registers ¶

Command: Kill Register ¶

List Registers displays a list of all the currently defined registers in a pop-up window, along with a brief description of their contents. Kill Register prompts for the name of a register and deletes that register.
