emacs: select current line with single command
Previously, we've covered Single Command to Delete Whole Line and How
to Copy/Cut Current Line. But what if you want to select the current
line with a single command? Very short, like this:

(transient-mark-mode 1)

(defun select-current-line ()
  "Select the current line"
  (interactive)
  (end-of-line) ; move to end of line
  (set-mark (line-beginning-position)))

This is added to Emacs Lisp Examples, check it out for other useful
exmaples.
