I just upgraded to emacs 26.2 using homebrew on my MAC (update: I had actually done a global "brew update" and assumed it had also updated emacs) and now kill-rectangle with
C-x r k
no longer works, and instead gives me an error:
Cannot open load file: No such file or directory, rect
Any idea how I can get it back as it is a super useful feature...
rect
is part of Emacs, so the fact that your computer can't see it suggests that there was either an error in installation, or else there were additional things you needed to install. That's probably more of a homebrew issue than an Emacs issue per se, but maybe some mac users can explain better.C-h k C-x r k
to see what command that key chord is running. (For me I getC-x r k runs the command kill-rectangle
). Then tryC-h f kill-rectangle
to see the documentation for that command, which should tell you what the associated keybinding is.emacs -Q
?
