Introduction to keyboard macros in Emacs

In this screen cast I offer a comprehensive overview of the powers of keyboard macros in GNU Emacs. Macros are recorded sequences of key chords that can be executed again to repeat the action. The idea is to define complex motions that can then be re-run in the blink of an eye.
Advanced features of keyboard macros in Emacs include the ability to
(i) maintain a ring of stored macros and to cycle through its
contents, (ii) assign a unique name to a macro and call it the way you
would call any other function using M-x, and (iii) output a macros’
definition as proper lisp code that can then be stored in a file for
use in future session.
Keyboard macros can be a very powerful tool in the hands of a skilled writer or programmer.
