### MCYT - An emacs minor mode to mark, copy, and yank things
#### Demo
# Demo
![demo](http://www.daemon.de/idisk/Misc/mcyt-mode-demo.gif)
#### Usage
MCYT minor mode provides convenience functions and wrappers to
mark, copy and yank various things with just one key chord. In copy
and yank mode the thing in question will be highlighted shortly as
visual feedback. This can be turned off.
Copied text will be stripped of leading and trailing whitespaces,
fontification and other text properties will be removed. This might
change in a future version.
The MCYT mode has 3 sub mode key maps for copying, yanking and
marking things. Each sub map has it's own prefix key:
C-c c copy things prefix
C-c y yank things prefix
C-c m mark things prefix
COPY commands (keymap: mcyt-copy-map):
C-c c w mcyt-copy-word
C-c c q mcyt-copy-quote
C-c c k mcyt-copy-parens
C-c c l mcyt-copy-line
C-c c p mcyt-copy-paragraph
C-c c f mcyt-copy-defun
C-c c u mcyt-copy-url
C-c c e mcyt-copy-email
C-c c c mcyt-copy-comment-block
C-c c a mcyt-copy-buffer
C-c c i mcyt-copy-ip
C-c c s mcyt-copy-sexp
C-c c > mcyt-copy-buffer-after-point
C-c c < mcyt-copy-buffer-before-point
C-c c $ mcyt-copy-line-after-point
C-c c ^ mcyt-copy-line-before-point
COPY & YANK commands (keymap: mcyt-yank-map):
C-c c y y mcyt-copy-and-yank-line
C-c c y l mcyt-copy-and-yank-line
C-c c y p mcyt-copy-and-yank-paragraph
C-c c y f mcyt-copy-and-yank-defun
C-c c y a mcyt-copy-and-yank-buffer
C-c c y w mcyt-copy-and-yank-word
C-c c y i mcyt-copy-and-yank-ip
C-c c y c mcyt-copy-and-yank-comment
MARK commands (keymap: mcyt-mark-map):
C-c c a a mcyt-mark-buffer
C-c c a w mcyt-mark-word
C-c c a f mcyt-mark-defun
C-c c a p mcyt-mark-paragraph
C-c c a l mcyt-mark-line
C-c c a u mcyt-mark-url
C-c c a e mcyt-mark-email
C-c c a s mcyt-mark-sexp
C-c c a c mcyt-mark-comment-block
C-c c a i mcyt-mark-ip
C-c c a > mcyt-mark-buffer-after-point
C-c c a < mcyt-mark-buffer-before-point
C-c c a $ mcyt-mark-line-after-point
C-c c a ^ mcyt-mark-line-before-point
Please note, the commands mcyt-copy-sexp and mcyt-mark-sexp only
work if expand-region is installed. You can find it here:
https://github.com/magnars/expand-region.el.
#### Install:
To use, save mark-copy-yank-things-mode.el to a directory in your load-path.
Add something like this to your config:
(require 'mark-copy-yank-things-mode)
(add-hook 'text-mode-hook 'mark-copy-yank-things-mode)
or load it manually, when needed:
M-x mark-copy-yank-things-mode
However, it's also possible to enable MCYT globally:
(mark-copy-yank-things-global-mode)
#### Customize
To turn off short blinking of copied and yanked things (visual feedback):
(setq mark-copy-yank-things-enable-blinking nil)
Of course the mark commands do highlight anyway.
You can also customize the various prefix keys defined for this mode:
(define-key mark-copy-yank-things-mode-map (kbd "C-c c") 'mcyt-copy-map)
(define-key mark-copy-yank-things-mode-map (kbd "C-c y") 'mcyt-yank-map)
(define-key mark-copy-yank-things-mode-map (kbd "C-c m") 'mcyt-mark-map)
You may also directly customize the key bindings, e.g:
(define-key mcyt-copy-map (kbd "l") 'mcyt-copy-line)
(define-key mcyt-yank-map (kbd "l") 'mcyt-yank-line)
(define-key mcyt-mark-map (kbd "l") 'mcyt-mark-line)
