                   SEARCH AND REPLACE: EMACS VS VIM
                  __________________________________


 I found this gem on how to pull off a search-and-replace with regular
 expressions on a very popular image-board.

 Emacs:
 - press both foot pedals
 - press meta shift control sysrq
 - play the moonlight sonata on the two extra keyboards while requesting
   Regex-Mode with the headstick
 - hit the electric cymbals strapped under your arm
 - put the shift-stick you have tightly gripped with your sphincter into
   turbo mode
 - signal your two assistants to turn their keys in unison, NOW!
 - input the regex
 - release all keys and watch as emacs gracefully rearranges the text

 Vim:
 - escape
 - :%s/foo/bar/g
 - enter
 - continue editing

 I think thats quite funny. But in all seriousness: it's just C-M-%
 Meaning you press CTRL+ALT while holding SHIFT and....fuck!
