4.1. More Emacs
-
One could also use M-f and M-b to move one word at a time
instead of one character at a time.
-
M is short for the Meta key, on your keyboard it will probably be Alt.
-
Page up is M-v. Page Down is C-v.
-
End of Line is C-e. Beginning of the Line is C-a.
-
So much for moving around.
-
The most common method of copy&paste is by cutting out using C-k.
C-k cuts until the end of line, typing C-k many times will cut
many lines. If you cut a few lines then move around and cut more lines.
The first lines would be lost this way (not including possible undo).
-
In order to paste we will yank the text out of the buffer using C-y
you can yank(paste) out however many times you want wherever you want.
