Hi, Every once in a while we come across some emacs feature, which after using for a few days, we wonder how we got along without this ? This thread is to list those features that is very useful when using and navigating through anything on the system using emacs. I thought I was a power user in emacs, but after seeing ido.el recently I realized how ignorant I had been all these days, which prompted me to start this list so that we can share our "discoveries". Please do list features even if they are included in emacs as good ones may be included later in emacs but some continue to be ignorant about it. Case at point: bs.el. 1) ido.el, isearchb, iswitchb ( amazing navigational tools, you've got to try it to appreciate it) 2) xcscope.el ( not cscope.el which I was using for a long time :( , this one with its colors and navigational beauty brings a tear why nobody told you about this ). 3) tabbar.el ( Thank you for the bells & whistles but most deal with only buffers 95% of the time. no ? ) 4) bs.el ( the default buffer showing in emacs is good, but this is more powerful ). 5) color-theme.el ( Finally what everyone wants at the end of the day :variety ) 6) session.el ( No matter how deep you are in your project, no matter how long a break you take, you're back in business in a jiffy with this. ) Sanjeev.

But for some task it good. For example use remote ssh connection to Windows with Emacs! --------------------------------- Be a better friend, newshound, and know-it-all with Yahoo! Mobile. Try it now.
