         <p>In this screen cast I showcase the potential of combining <code>dired</code>, the
 | 
						|
built-in Emacs file manager, with keyboard macros.  This allows us to
 | 
						|
perform an arbitrary number of tasks in a collection of files that are
 | 
						|
grouped together as a directory or dynamically (with search tools like
 | 
						|
<code>find-name-dired</code>).</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>The idea is that we can use keyboard macros to perform changes
 | 
						|
visually across all our files, without having to think about complex
 | 
						|
regular expressions for the necessary search+replace actions.</p>
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
<p>And here is my own config file, with tweaks for Dired and others:
