Emacs Quick Reference

This quick reference assumes that you are using the Emacs provided for the course. Emacs may behave differently for some of these key bindings if you have setup Emacs yourself. By convention, holding down the CTRL key and x together is represented as C-x. Likewise, pressing the ESC key and then x is represented as M-x (you can also press the ALT key together with x).
