You probably know about M-x dired, the directory editor. But do you know about M-x proced, the process editor?

@Huubje you know like how dired allows you edit directories, proced allows you to edit processes.

@Huubje I had seen it before but assumed it was just a listing of processes, I got to know of its true power today.

@tusharhero My favorite thing in dired is r, aka wdired-change-to-wdired-mode from wdired.el: rename stuff by means of normal editing actions. Combined with keyboard macros, this is great for quick renaming of things according to a “pattern”.
