Subject: How to use project.el
Date: Fri, 20 Nov 2020 15:52:01 +0100 (CET) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <MMQdMsY--3-2@tutanota.com> (raw)
With 27.1 out, I see talk of project.el, how great it is, and how it's been around for years. What I don't see is anything about how to use it. There's one sparse page in the manual, C-h i m emacs m Projects. I've run project-find-file and project-search. I fail to see how they're fundamentally different than find-file or grep.
I happen to have ESS installed which appears to use project.el. It defines some new methods. I'll need to brush up on CL objects and generic methods, though, before I can decipher how those interact with project.el. In the meantime, does anyone have a basic setup and usage example?
