Hi,

I have a file in a buffer and want to write it (C-x C-w) to disc under a
different name. At the same time I want to leave in the
buffer only the original one.

Is there a some simple key binding to do it?

How about:

(defun clone-file (filename)
   "Clone the current buffer and write the new buffer into file FILENAME."
   (interactive "FWrite file: ")
   (let* ((buffer-file-name nil))
     (with-current-buffer (clone-buffer nil (interactive-p))
       (write-file filename (interactive-p)))))

(global-set-key "\C-xW" 'clone-file)

It makes two buffers, a new one and the original. I don't know
lisp, could you possibly trim it so that only the original occupy the
buffer?

Many thanks.

My newsreader was acting funny, so sorry if this is a duplicate.

(defun clone-file (filename)
  "Clone the current buffer and write it into FILENAME."
  (interactive "FClone to file: ")
  (let ((buffer-file-name nil))
    (kill-buffer (with-current-buffer (clone-buffer)
                   (write-file filename (interactive-p))
                   (current-buffer)))))

    (save-restriction
      (widen)
      (write-region (point-min) (point-max) filename
                    nil nil nil CONFIRM))
