18.5 Keeping Numbers in Registers
There are commands to store a number in a register, to insert the number in the buffer in decimal, and to increment it. These commands can be useful in keyboard macros (see section Keyboard Macros).
- C-u number C-x r n r
-
Store number into register r (
number-to-register
). - C-u number C-x r + r
-
Increment the number in register r by number (
increment-register
). - C-x r i r
Insert the number from register r into the buffer.
C-x r i is the same command used to insert any other sort of register contents into the buffer. C-x r + with no numeric argument increments the register value by 1; C-x r n with no numeric argument stores zero in the register.
