Use this chapter to recall an everyday command and check its important conditions before acting. Read the key instructions explains modifiers, capital letters and successive keypresses. Basic Usage teaches the reading and editing workflows; the links beside each reminder lead to their details.
These are default keys, used without a prefix argument unless one is shown. Application keymaps and personal bindings can change their meaning. A short reference cannot replace a terminal’s or editor’s own instructions. Use live Help in the affected buffer when a binding differs, and the generated keymap reference for the full default inventory.
