chunk-edit is an Emacs package that lets you edit code chunks from various sources within a single buffer. It provides syntax highlighting and the ability to save changes back to the original files or buffers.
- Edit code chunks from multiple files or regions in one buffer.
- Syntax highlighting using each chunk’s major mode.
- Save and revert changes to the original sources.
- Navigate between chunks easily with keybindings.
Place chunk-edit.el in your Emacs load-path, and add the following to your
configuration:
(require 'chunk-edit)The package maintains a buffer (the Chunk-Edit buffer, *chunk-edit* by default) that
collects chunks the users intends to edit. chunk-edit switches to the buffer, while
chunk-edit-insert-* commands insert buffer regions or files as chunks into the buffer.
Within the Chunk-Edit buffer chunks can be edited, saved back (C-c s) to sources,
reverted (C-c r), etc. Global commands:
Create or switch to the Chunk-Edit buffer: M-x chunk-edit.
Insert file as Chunk into the Chunk-Edit buffer: M-x chunk-edit-insert-file
Insert current region as Chunk into the Chunk-Edit buffer: M-x chunk-edit-insert-region
C-c s: Save chunk at point.C-c C-s: Save all modified chunks.C-c r: Revert chunk at point.C-c C-r: Revert all chunks.C-c k: Kill chunk at point.C-c o: Open source of chunk at point.C-c q: Quit chunk-edit buffer.
C-c n: Next chunk.C-c p: Previous chunk.
