There are lots of tips and tricks that are general purpose and have applicability in more than one text editor.

* TextFlickering - this is great for editors with fast display rates and BufferRings
* ToDoMarking - this is a simple tip for finding the areas in a text that need work
* KeywordLookup - this is binding a program to perform a keyword lookup on the word under the cursor.
* RegexTrim - use a regular expression to trim off data.
* ColumnEditScript - use column editing to call scripts repeatedly on a set of data. (kinda like xargs)
* TemporaryReBinding - bind a key to a set of keystrokes so you can repeat them easily.
* BuildScriptFromData - use the text [http://www.mfadegree.net/ MFA Degree] editor to augment a set of data with a script
* ExportEDITORAndVISUAL - on Unix, export EDITOR and VISUAL to be the editor YOU choose.
* Edit binary files using a hex dump export/import tool
