Batteries included with Emacs
blogpostUseful commands, modes and possibilities bundled with Emacs, no need of extra installations.
Here is a list of useful features in emacs I use regularly that I don’t see mentioned or recommended often online. Guidelines I used to populate this list:
* No packages, stock Emacs only.
* No steep learning curves. Learn each feature in under two minutes or bust.
* No gimmicks. No doctor, tetris, snake, dunnet, zone or butterfly.
* Just the deltas. No commonly mentioned packages like flymake, doc-view, outline-minor-mode or eww/w3m. Nothing that Emacs brings up automatically or a nonspecific Google search gets you.
* Assume a modern Emacs, 26.3+.
