Emacs Power Usage

[Top] [First] [Previous] [Next]

getting help:

The first source for help on emacs is(surprise, surprise) The Emacs manual.
We can find it in the Help menu, and can be navigated through easily in emacs.
This is an info page, so you can also navigate with your favorite info
viewer. (I prefer using emacs)

In order to get help on a certain topic we may use: M-x apropos
and search for a reg-exp
This will search for functions variables etc. matching regexp
(all bound symbols)
C-h v : help on variable
C-h k : help on key
C-h f : help on function.
C-h a : apropos command.
apropos-variable
apropos-documentation
