Multiple cursor mode. cf http://emacsrocks.com/e13.html I don't use it all the time but when I use it it's much easier than the alternatives. > 2.

Offtopic: This is the one big feature that I've tried DrRacket for, but I've never been able to make it work. Everything gets reduced to lambdas instead of more high-level forms so that long before I actually see anything useful I get a giant mess. Maybe I don't understand it well enough, or maybe there's something I need to do differently with it? I was expecting to just keep clicking the 'step' button; is there any sort of context or etc that I need to establish first? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Racket Users" group.
