But if there wasn't as much to learn, then emacs wouldn't be as compelling. ;) My handful of suggestions are: C-h m: describe-mode Shows all currently active major and minor modes and what key sequences they have bound and promote. Very useful for understanding what's available, and/or as a quick reminder. C-h a: apropos-command Have a feeling that there's a command in a given situation, but maybe don't quite know the name? apropos-command functions like `apropos` command-line, generally searching (interactive) functions. C-h k: describe-key Prompts you to enter a key sequence, and shows you what it's bound to. Useful if you accidentally do something awesome, and want detail, or know a command by muscle memory but want more detail about it (and maybe any arguments it takes). M-x customize-apropos Apropos-style search over customize-able fields. Quite useful given how sprawlin^Wextensive emacs is. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo $...@${b}
