2.1.3 Repeating Commands
Now let's learn some efficiency tricks. Emacs lets you repeat any command as many times as you want to. First, you can repeat a command any number of times by pressing M-n before the command, where n is the number of times you want to repeat it. This command is called the digit-argument command.
You can give M-n a large argument if you want it to repeat the command many times. For example, let's say you are editing a large file of 1000 lines. If you typed M-500 C-n, the cursor would move down 500 lines, to the halfway point in the file. If you give M-n a larger argument than it can execute, it repeats the command as many times as possible and then stops.
There's another multiplier command you can use, too: C-u (the universal-argument command). You can give C-u an argument just like you do M-n. Typing either M-5 or C-u 5 repeats the command that follows five times. But unlike M-n, C-u doesn't need an argument to repeat commands. With no argument, C-u executes the next command four times. If you type C-u C-u, it executes the command 16 times. In this way, you can stack up C-u's to make commands execute many times: 16, 64, 256, and so on.[11]
