Using Macros to avoid tedious tasks

Plan

• [X] Show the task
• [X] Record Macro
• [X] Use Macro

Explanation

I record a macro to find ~, then activate the mark and find a space.

C-s ~, C-SPACE, C-s SPACE

Then kill the region and type ${}

C-w ${}

That’s it.

Why??

• It is resilient: I check each change I do.
• I avoid repeating unnerving stuff.

Thank you
