Emacs has very many commands, so beginners are apt to dislike Emacs. I also did.
However, I learned a few commands of Emacs someday. Then I became to use Emacs so-so and to enjoy Emacs! By learning the least commands, I became able to use emacs! Since then, Emacs is one of my favorite editors.
Therefore, I listed up only 12 commands for Emacs beginners.
Notation
- C-x : to type "Ctrl" key and "x" key at the same time.
- M-x : to type "Meta"("Alt") key and "x" key at the same time.
- C-x C-y : to type C-x, then type C-y.
Launch Emacs
Normal :
> emacs filename
Other Window :
> emacs filename &
in Current Shell (<- Useful!) :
> emacs filename -nw
File
- C-x C-f : Open File
- C-x C-s : Save File
- C-x C-c : Save File and Exit Emacs
Edit
- C-@ : Set Mark
- C-w : Cut (from Mark to Cursor)
- M-w : Copy (from Mark to Cursor)
- C-y : Paste
- C-_ : Undo
Other
- C-z : Interrupt (Return to Shell)
If you launched Emacs in a Shell(emacs filename -nw), it is useful to return the Shell by this and to restart the Emacs by "fg" command.
