By Emacs, how to join two lines into one?
editor, emacs
Solution
You could define a new command for this, temporarily adjusting the fill width before using the the Esc-q command:
;; -- define a new command to join multiple lines together --
(defun join-lines () (interactive)
(setq fill-column 100000)
(fill-paragraph nil)
(setq fill-column 78)
)
Obviously this only works, if your paragraph has less than 100000 characters.
Problem
I am new to Emacs. I have googled this but no good answer there. One of them is Ctrl-n Ctrl-a Backspace This works but is stupid. Is there a quick and simple way to join a block of lines into a single line? Actually, I can use Esc-q to auto-fill a paragraph now, but how could I get it to revert without UNDO?
