About

This Emacs package provides commands for moving to the beginning/end of code or line. It is inspired by this EmacsWiki page (some code from this page is used). mwim stands for Move Where I Mean.

Installation

Automatic

This package can be installed from MELPA (with M-x package-install or =M-x list-packages=).

Manual

For the manual installation, clone the repo, add the directory to =load-path= and add autoloads for the commands for moving:

(add-to-list 'load-path "/path/to/mwim-dir")
(autoload 'mwim-beginning-of-code-or-line "mwim" nil t)
(autoload 'mwim-beginning-of-line-or-code "mwim" nil t)
(autoload 'mwim-end-of-code-or-line "mwim" nil t)
(autoload 'mwim-end-of-line-or-code "mwim" nil t)

Usage

As you can see in the gif demonstration:

• M-x mwim-beginning-of-code-or-line moves the point between a first
non-space character and a first character of the line.

• M-x mwim-end-of-code-or-line moves the point between the end of code
(not counting a trailing comment) and the end of the line.

M-x mwim-beginning-of-line-or-code and =M-x mwim-end-of-line-or-code= do the same but in a reverse order.

You may bind some keys to some of those commands in a usual manner, for example:

(global-set-key (kbd "C-a") 'mwim-beginning-of-code-or-line)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-e") 'mwim-end-of-code-or-line)
