Emacs Copy Current Line -


for reason, copying lines in emacs unintuitive , difficult. if i'm doing wrong here, please let me know. surprising emacs not have default somewhere.

i trying write function copies line. used have:

(global-set-key (kbd "c-x c") "\c-a\c- \c-n\m-w") 

this little annoying since copies new line after line. decided change to:

(global-set-key (kbd "c-x c") "\m-m\c- \c-e\m-w") 

now, saw: http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/copyingwholelines , appears copy-line function prints message number of lines copied. trying insert message global-set-key above not working. basically, unable run raw sequence above in function. conveyed each keystroke function , did this:

(defun copy-line ()    (interactive)    (kill-ring-save     (back-to-indentation)     (move-end-of-line 1))     (message "1 line copied")) ;; optional key binding                  (global-set-key "\c-c\c-k" 'copy-line) 

this however, throws wrong number of arguments error.

my first question: how can put (message "1 line copied") global-set-key above?

my second question: using standard copy-line found in link above:

(defun copy-line (arg)       "copy lines (as many prefix argument) in kill ring"       (interactive "p")       (kill-ring-save (line-beginning-position)                       (line-beginning-position (+ 1 arg)))       (message "%d line%s copied" arg (if (= 1 arg) "" "s"))) 

from message, appears can have multiple lines copied. however, when selecting multiple lines , copying, 1 copied. why message structured in way? how can select multiple lines?

here's function, fixed:

(defun copy-line ()   (interactive)   (save-excursion     (back-to-indentation)     (kill-ring-save      (point)      (line-end-position)))      (message "1 line copied")) 

the problem back-to-indentation doesn't return point.

as other function, copy multiple lines when called prefix argument, e.g. c-u or m-5.
