Hi there,

My quick fix for this was to save a macro and then bind it to a key. From
init.el


;;;; Saved macros
;; Saved macro - adds latex end-lines to verse passages
(fset 'versify
      [?\C-a ?\C-e ?\\ ?\\ down])

(global-set-key (kbd "s-v") 'versify)


I can fix a lot of lines very quickly with this :-)
