add a goto-line command to emacs
it boggles the mind that emacs - famous for having a bazillion keyboard shortcuts - doesn't have one for quickly finding a line.
so, here's how to make one.
go to your home directory in the terminal:
>> cdand open up the .emacs file that lives there.
add the following line of code to it:
(global-set-key "\C-l" 'goto-line)restart emacs and you'll find that whenever you hit "ctrl-l" (lowercase L), you'll be presented with a prompt asking which line of the text you'd like to be moved to.

That's what you get for running Emacs! XEmacs has had M-g for 'goto-line' for years.
heh, 7 months later...
in vi or vim, simply type [line number]G when not in insert mode.
hey, it's a slow day at work today :)

you vim lovers make me sick :)
insert mode? it's a freakin' text editor - why do you need extra commands just to edit text?!
