TIMU-MACOS-THEME

wfnames

Allows editing lists of absolute files, this allows editing the directory parts as well.

This package have no user interface, but you can easily use it with Helm package by customizing helm-ff-edit-marked-files-fn variable. If you are not using Helm you will have to define yourself a function that call wfnames-setup-buffer with a list of files as argument.

async-backup

Emacs has a built-in backup system, but it does not backup on each save. It can be made to, but that makes saving really slow (and the UI unresponsive), especially for large files.

It automatically creates a async-backup folder in .emacs.d directory.

(add-hook 'after-save-hook #'async-backup)

iedit

Edit multiple occurrences in the same way simultaneously

Both iedit and multiple-cursors are powerful tools for editing multiple occurrences of text in Emacs. However, iedit is better suited for editing within a region of text, while multiple-cursors is more flexible and can be used to edit arbitrary occurrences of text.
