Re: simple question about copying in the terminal

Hi Felix,

As I was a normal Linux user.
I used only the basics.
I new nothing about Emacs, VIM ...

After installing GNU Guix SD approx 3 years ago
the term "Emacs" came up and
all the Guixers, who wrote to me
encouraged me to learn Emacs,
nobody said something about VIM.

That´s why I started to learn Emacs


When time allows, I am learning Emacs
but it is a new world for me
and many overwhelming and new things come up.

So I am now busy with Emacs and have enough to do,
no time for VIM
(even though I guess, but I don´t know,

because Dutch is a lets say "German dialect",
and may be? he developed a system nearer to the German language,
which would be easier to understand for German speaking people.

Emacs bases on "American English" and so

Some keybindings in Emacs are difficult for a German keyboard
e.g. C-/    I always use C-_ instead  to "undo" something.

thanks

Gottfried

but it goes slowly, because I am not sitting the whole day before the laptop. that the dutch developer of VIM may be? has more keybindings developed similar to the German language, I have to learn two new things: English thinking with English keyboard and Emacs on top of it.

I will try it in Emacs

In software, Emacs divides the world.  We can still be friends if you
use Vim.  When using Emacs, however, please use the following commands
instead:

    C-x C-c  to quit
    C-x C-s  to save
    C-x C-f  to open a file

I haven't looked at those keys in a while.

Kind regards & please have a good weekend!
Felix
