Have you ever stopped to consider what is the string you type most
often?
In my case the answer is two-fold: “~/” and “.emacs.d/”.
Minibuffer completion helps, but we can always make things better.
The following snippet intelligently inserts both of these with a
single key, and it's smart enough to know which one you want.
Besides its use in writing configurations, it's great for going
straight to one of these directories inside the find-file prompt.
(global-set-key(kbd"M-ç")#'endless/~-or-emacs.d)(defunendless/~-or-emacs.d()"Insert '~/', then '.emacs.d/'."(interactive)(if(looking-back"~/")(insert".emacs.d/")(insert"~/")))
The ç key is right under my right pinky, but find
one that fits your need.
