Key Bindings

Emacs terminology

• File (Like POSIX)
• buffer - byte sequence in Emacs' RAM
• window* - view of (part of) a butter
• frame* - a window

When editing file F in Emacs, there's gonna be:

• .#F → symbolic link "to" the user editing the file
• F~ → a backup file, a copy of F before start editing
• #F# → the checkpoint file, what the file looks like the last time emacs edit it

For every emacs butter, there are:

• point → cursor location
• mark → the place you've marked (selected)

*scratch* basically a junk file to play around

C-j → evaluate the previous (to cursor) expression (s-expr)
