Work your way through the tutorial - type <ctrl>-h t. It does not take long. I dont know if you are a programmer or not, but if you are then learn how to use the mode for the language that you use. The default indenting can be customized; especially the C and C++ modes.
Put "customizing emacs" into google and you will get many, many sites that show you how to do things that you hadn't dreamed of. One thing that I did when leanring is to install the elisp source. On my kubuntu system the source is in /usr/share/emacs/21.4/lisp/. These *.el files have documentation in that is nowhere else. Contrary to popular "widwom" emacs isn't that much heavier than vim, so don't let that stop you. On 12/26/06, Michael Walters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
Hello All, I installed emacs on my Suse system using Yast and I will hopefully learn how to use emacs through practice. Like one of my friends, I will probably use emacs for certain purposes and vim editor for other purposes. My friend who uses both emacs and vim said that the learning curve for emacs is steep but that it is well worth the effort to learn. So I am going to learn as much as I can about emacs over the next little while. It sure can not hurt to be able to use both vim and emacs.
