Typing Underscores Faster In Emacs
I recently saw a Twitter post that showed how to type the “_” (underscore) faster. I really liked the idea and tried it out. Sure enough, I loved it but the issue was that key-chord
was slow and I didn’t want to install a package just to use it once. So, I decided to try to create one without the need of key-chord
and I got something running that works for me.
(defun python-underscore (arg)
(interactive "P")
(if arg
(insert ";")
(insert "_")))
(define-key elpy-mode-map (kbd ";") 'python-underscore)
If you type ;
you get _
and if you type C-u ;
you’ll get your beloved ;
back. Pretty neat if you ask me.
