There are lots of neat ways of moving around quickly in a buffer.
;; Move more quickly (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-n") (lambda () (interactive) (ignore-errors (next-line 5)))) (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-p") (lambda () (interactive) (ignore-errors (previous-line 5)))) (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-f") (lambda () (interactive) (ignore-errors (forward-char 5)))) (global-set-key (kbd "C-S-b") (lambda () (interactive) (ignore-errors (backward-char 5))))
For instance, check out Emacs Rocks e10: Jumping Around.
But sometimes I just want to browse a little. Or move a few lines down. These keybindings let me do that more quickly than C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n C-n ...
In fact, with these I can navigate to any line within a distance of 11 in 3 keystrokes or less. Or close enough to count. Two of them require 4 keystrokes. Can you figure out which ones?
