What is your favorite obscure feature? I'm not asking for the most obscure feature you can find, I'm asking what little-known feature you use on a daily basis.
My favorite is dabbrev-expand, normally bound to Meta-/ , It can save me several percent of typed-in keystrokes, especially when programming using long descriptive identifiers. I believe it may be keeping my RSI to a dull roar... If you don't use it regularly you owe it to yourself to find out about it, and to try to use if tor one hour. You'll get hooked.
There are similar autocomplete features in many IDEs (JBuilder, J++), but none are as simple and dependable.
