[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/abo-abo/tiny.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/abo-abo/tiny) [![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/abo-abo/tiny/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/r/abo-abo/tiny?branch=master) ### Main idea: This is an alternative to inserting numeric ranges with macros (i.e. `F3 F3`). The advantages are: 1. Brevity: consider `F3 F3 SPC M-1 M-0 F4` vs. `m10 C-;`. 2. Much better undo context: a single `C-_` will undo the whole thing and allow you to edit the code. With macros you'd have to undo multiple times and restart from scratch, instead of tweaking what you just invoked. 3. The ability to insert the same number several times in a single iteration, and transform it with `format`-style expressions e.g. `m6\n15%s=0%o=0x%x` will expand to 6=06=0x6 7=07=0x7 8=010=0x8 9=011=0x9 10=012=0xa 11=013=0xb 12=014=0xc 13=015=0xd 14=016=0xe 15=017=0xf 4. Last but not least, the ability to transform the number with lisp expressions. For instance: 1. `m5 10*xx` -> `25 36 49 64 81 100` 2. `m5 10*xx|0x%x` -> `0x19 0x24 0x31 0x40 0x51 0x64` 3. `m10+x?a%c` -> `a b c d e f g h i j k` 4. `m10+x?A%c` -> `A B C D E F G H I J K` 5. `m97,105stringx` -> `a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i` 6. `m97,102stringxupcasex` -> `aA,bB,cC,dD,eE,fF` 7. `m,3|%(+ x x) and %(* x x) and %s` -> `0 and 0 and 0,2 and 1 and 1,4 and 4 and 2,6 and 9 and 3,8 and 16 and 4,10 and 25 and 5` ### Use in conjunction with `org-mode`: m1\n14|*** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e%02d.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e01.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e02.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e03.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e04.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e05.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e06.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e07.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e08.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e09.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e10.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e11.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e12.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e13.html *** TODO http://emacsrocks.com/e14.html You can even schedule and deadline: m\n8|**** TODO Learning from Data Week %(+ x 2) \nSCHEDULED: <%(date "Oct 7" (* x 7))> DEADLINE: <%(date "Oct 14" (* x 7))> **** TODO Learning from Data Week 2 SCHEDULED: <2013-10-07 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-10-14 Mon> **** TODO Learning from Data Week 3 SCHEDULED: <2013-10-14 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-10-21 Mon> **** TODO Learning from Data Week 4 SCHEDULED: <2013-10-21 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-10-28 Mon> **** TODO Learning from Data Week 5 SCHEDULED: <2013-10-28 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-11-04 Mon> **** TODO Learning from Data Week 6 SCHEDULED: <2013-11-04 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-11-11 Mon> **** TODO Learning from Data Week 7 SCHEDULED: <2013-11-11 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-11-18 Mon> **** TODO Learning from Data Week 8 SCHEDULED: <2013-11-18 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-11-25 Mon> **** TODO Learning from Data Week 9 SCHEDULED: <2013-11-25 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-12-02 Mon> **** TODO Learning from Data Week 10 SCHEDULED: <2013-12-02 Mon> DEADLINE: <2013-12-09 Mon> Here's how to schedule a task that repeats Monday through Friday at 10:00, every week: m0\n4|** TODO Something work-related\nSCHEDULED: <%(date "mon" x) 10:00 +1w> ** TODO Something work-related SCHEDULED: <2013-11-04 Mon 10:00 +1w> ** TODO Something work-related SCHEDULED: <2013-11-05 Tue 10:00 +1w> ** TODO Something work-related SCHEDULED: <2013-11-06 Wed 10:00 +1w> ** TODO Something work-related SCHEDULED: <2013-11-07 Thu 10:00 +1w> ** TODO Something work-related SCHEDULED: <2013-11-08 Fri 10:00 +1w> ### Setup In `~/.emacs`: (require 'tiny) (tiny-setup-default)
