today i took some closer look at cursor moving commands for editing
lisp code.
`C-M-n' Move forward over a parenthetical group (`forward-list').
`C-M-p' Move backward over a parenthetical group (`backward-
list').
`C-M-u' Move up in parenthesis structure (`backward-up-list').
`C-M-d' Move down in parenthesis structure (`down-list').
`C-M-f' Move forward over a balanced expression (`forward-sexp').
`C-M-b' Move backward over a balanced expression (`backward-
sexp').
`C-M-k' Kill balanced expression forward (`kill-sexp').
`C-M-<SPC>' Put mark after following expression (`mark-sexp').
which i was aware for about a year but never really used. I think they
are FANTASTIC. Previously i thought the extend-selection idea i had
was more powerful, but not really. (the extend-selection idea is
simply backward-up-list followed by mark-sexp)
The keybinding choices are pretty bad though. I now set them thus:
(global-set-key (kbd "M-<up>") 'backward-up-list)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-<down>") 'down-list)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-<left>") 'backward-sexp)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-<right>") 'forward-sexp)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-S-<left>") 'backward-list)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-S-<right>") 'forward-list)
