Hi! My name is Eduardo Ochs, and this
is a very short video that I'm recording
for a workshop that is going to happen
on this saturday... and the title
of this video is: "Creating a link
to a file using a 2-window setting".
And this is an exercise.
It's an exercise that is quite hard, I'm
probably going to rewrite it for the
workshop, but let me show how to perform
the exercise as it's written now.
The exercise says: copy this diagram here
to our notes...
let me do that...
then come back here and type `C-x 1 C-x 3'
to split the window,
then in the window at the right
do the series of steps that will be
visible here at the window at the left...
and the the steps are:
go to this directory here,
find the subdirectory called "play",
this one, enter the subdirectory,
find the file called "life.el",
and in that file search for this string
here, which is "(defun life "...
it's this string here. And then
the instructions say: follow the
instructions in the diagram above to
create a link to this file, "life.el",
and then refine that link to make it
point to the first occurrence of
this string in that file...
and then copy the pair of links
consisting of the link to that file and
to link to this string in that file to
our buffer with notes.
So let me follow the instructions here...
the instructions start with this window
setting, with the buffer with exercises
at the left, and here we have
(find-eev-exercises-intro), so that's
right... and the target buffer at the
right. Remember that we want to point to
this string in this file, so this file is
exactly the target file...
and the target buffer.
Then we have to type this key sequence
here, `M-h M-h', which is
`find-here-links', to create a buffer
with a list of links...
oh, sorry, I forgot something... in this
buffer here I have to execute `M-w' to
copy this string to the key ring...
let me do that...
and now `find here links', which is
`M-h M-h'...
so we're in this buffer here,
"*(find-here-links)*"...
the link that we want is this one, and we
have to follow these instructions here
to refine it...
so: duplicate it, refine it,
and copy these two lines
to the kill ring.
And then we have to type this key
sequence here to show our notes at the
right... let me do that...
so here are our notes. You can see the
"TODO" here...
then we have to copy our pair of links...
here -
and then the instructions - remember that
we've copied the instructions to the
notes so we have them accessible now - the
notes say that we have to type a series
of `M-K's to display the buffer with
exercises in this window.
so let me do that now...
that's it,
This is the buffer with exercises, so
this exercise is just this...
uh, "just this"... =(
anyway, that's it.
