I use Ctrl - Alt - i to move the cursor to up window, actually I use ijkl to move cursor to different window in four directions.

When I enabled flyspell-mode, the Ctrl - Alt - i is overwritten. It was used to correct misspelled words, but I never use it.

Maybe you accumulated too many unstaged changes, maybe there are man different changes gathered in a same hunk. No you get a hunk contains totally different code, you may not want to stage them as a whole. If you are in command line, you can use git add -p. But this feature is very limited, you just can not .

One of the things I miss about VIM in Emacs is :%s command, which allows you input pattern and replace text in one step. The Emacs M-x query-replace-regexp do the same thing but a bit annoying, you need to input regular expression first then press enter, input replace text and press enter again and you need to press ! .

Goto Anything is a great feature in editors like Sublime Text, it allows you goto anywhere you want with minimal key strokes. This is what I wanted in Emacs for switching buffers. Both the switch-to-buffer and switch-to-buffer are not good enough.

The Sublime Goto Anything support goto any line any symbol in any file with fuzzy matching. For Emacs, if I can fuzzy matching buffers and switch to the buffer I will be more productive.

I noticed the indent line feature of php-mode in Emacs works not right. I just want the basic indentation, but php-mode is using something different, run command describe-function and input indent-line-function I get php-cautious-indent-line. This is not what I want according its behavior.

The basic indent-relative is enough for me. To change it, we should first remove the php-mode hook in ielm buffer, run the following code

You have Emacs installed, the lastest version is Emacs 24.4. And Emacs instance run in server mode. Your Emacs will run as daemon, there will be only one Emacs window, you will open file with emacsclient.exe, the new buffer will be created in the daemon Emacs process.
