In my .emacs i have the following function that transposes a line
(defun move-line (n) "Move the current line up or down by N lines." (interactive "p") (let ((col (current-column)) start end) (beginning-of-line) (setq start (point)) (end-of-line) (forward-char) (setq end (point)) (let ((line-text (delete-and-extract-region start end))) (forward-line n) (insert line-text) ;; restore point to original column in moved line (forward-line -1) (forward-char col))))
And I bind a key to it like this
(global-set-key (kbd "M-<down>") 'move-line) ;; this is the same as M-x global-set-key <return>
However, I want to bind M-up to move-line (-1) But I cant seem to be able to do it correctly:
;; M-- M-1 M-x global-set-key <return>
How do I define the above using global-set-key to call move-line -1?
Not minutes after asking the question I figured it out by copy+pasting code. However I have no clue how it works.
(global-set-key (kbd "M-<up>") (lambda () (interactive) (move-line -1)))
