    <ul> <li>The vim <code>o/O</code> command is a two key command in emacs. For <code>o</code>, <code>C-e &lt;return&gt;</code> (end of line, return to create new line). For <code>O</code>, <code>C-a C-o</code> (beginning of line, open line).</li> <li><code>ffap-copy-string-as-kill</code> (not bound to a key by default, but easily fixed) does something similar to your <code>ci'</code>. In emacs, there is no concept of "insert mode".</li> </ul> <p>I don't change "(" ")" to "[" "]" enough to learn a key sequence for it. If I had to do it I would turn to <code>query-replace-regexp</code> (<code>C-M-%</code>) first.</p> <p>I don't edit python or HTML much, but I'm sure there are clever tricks in appropriate modes for your needs.</p> <p>Edited in response to comments.</p> <p>More advanced editing features that I use frequently:</p> <ul> <li>Keyboard macros. This is a broad category of tricks, but if there are many similar edits that I have to make throughout a buffer, I record a macro and repeat it. If the macro is very useful, it can be saved for future sessions. This can be very powerful when seek is part of the macro. An example of usage is taking a definition of an <code>enum</code> in C and creating a switch statement out of it quickly. See <a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/KeyboardMacros" rel="nofollow">http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/KeyboardMacros</a> and <a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/KeyboardMacrosTricks" rel="nofollow">http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/KeyboardMacrosTricks</a> for details.</li> <li>Whenever I use vim, I alway miss incremental search. Not advanced, but I find it much easier to use than search in vim, particularly when I'm not sure of the spelling of what I'm trying to find.</li> <li>Marks. Every time you start an incremental search, the current position is pushed to the mark stack so that it is fast to return to your previous position. You can push a mark at anytime and pop the mark stack to go back through interesting points in the buffer. See <a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MarkCommands" rel="nofollow">http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/MarkCommands</a>.</li> <li>TRAMP mode for editing files on remote machines. See <a href="http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode" rel="nofollow">http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/TrampMode</a>.</li> <li>Rectangle edits. <code>string-insert-rectangle</code> and <code>rectangle-delete</code> are good friends of mine.</li> </ul> <p>It is hard to know what you will find useful. Every user will have a different favorite feature. The feature that made me start using emacs was <code>M-x compile</code>. Use <code>M-g n</code> to jump to the file location of the next error or warning in the compilation output.</p>

    1. COI know there is no insert mode, as said I used Emacs for several years. :) Back then I didn't miss advanced editing functions as well, until I saw vim and Sublime Text (which is modeless). C-o seems to insert a newline without moving on. What I mean is exactly the opposite: go up or down, add a line and don't break the current one. It's unfortunate that everybody is clinging to my examples, I just tried to show a variety of what's possible. All I'm asking are editing features Emacs power users couldn't live without and I might have missed. I don't see how such questions highlight anything.

    2. COMaybe people can't give you good answers, because for others editing tricks are not the most important way to be more productive with Emacs. For example, in my case having packages like [Anything](http://metasandwich.com/2010/07/30/what-can-i-get-for-10-dolla-anything-el/) add much more to my productivity than having a key for changing parens and stuff would.

    3. COGiven Emacs' power, it shouldn't be a question of "Anything XOR effective editing". There has been already a good answer here and maybe we can start off something to make Emacs a better _editor_.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
