Hello,

Maybe is a often repeated question here, but i can't find anything similar with the search. The point is that i like to use Emacs for my personal projects, usually very small applications using C or python, but i was wondering how to use it also for my work, in which we have project with about 10k files of source code, so is veeeery big (actually i am using source insight, that is very nice tool, but only for windows), questions are:

  • Searching: Which is the most convenient way to search a string within the whole project?
  • Navigating throught the function: I mean something like putting the cursor over a function, define, var, and going to the definition
  • Refactoring

Also if you have any experience with this and want to share your thoughts i will consider it highly interesting.
