% This file is intended to be processed by plain TeX (TeX82).
%
% The final reference card has six columns, three on each side.
% This file can be used to produce it in any of three ways:
% 1 column per page
%    produces six separate pages, each of which needs to be reduced to 80%.
%    This gives the best resolution.
% 2 columns per page
%    produces three already-reduced pages.
%    You will still need to cut and paste.
% 3 columns per page
%    produces two pages which must be printed sideways to make a
%    ready-to-use 8.5 x 11 inch reference card.
%    For this you need a dvi device driver that can print sideways.
% Which mode to use is controlled by setting \columnsperpage.
%
% To compile and print this document:
% tex refcard.tex
% dvips -t landscape refcard.dvi
%
% Thanks to Paul Rubin, Bob Chassell, Len Tower, and Richard Mlynarik
% for their many good ideas.

\title{GNU Emacs Reference Card}

\centerline{(for version \versionemacs)}

\section{Starting Emacs}

To enter GNU Emacs \versionemacs, just type its name: \kbd{emacs}

\section{Leaving Emacs}

\key{suspend Emacs (or iconify it under X)}{C-z}
\key{exit Emacs permanently}{C-x C-c}

\section{Files}

\key{{\bf read} a file into Emacs}{C-x C-f}
\key{{\bf save} a file back to disk}{C-x C-s}
\key{save {\bf all} files}{C-x s}
\key{{\bf insert} contents of another file into this buffer}{C-x i}
\key{replace this file with the file you really want}{C-x C-v}
\key{write buffer to a specified file}{C-x C-w}
\key{toggle read-only status of buffer}{C-x C-q}

\section{Getting Help}

The help system is simple.  Type \kbd{C-h} (or \kbd{F1}) and follow
the directions.  If you are a first-time user, type \kbd{C-h t} for a
{\bf tutorial}.

\key{remove help window}{C-x 1}
\key{scroll help window}{C-M-v}

\key{apropos: show commands matching a string}{C-h a}
\key{describe the function a key runs}{C-h k}
\key{describe a function}{C-h f}
\key{get mode-specific information}{C-h m}

\section{Error Recovery}

\key{{\bf abort} partially typed or executing command}{C-g}
\metax{{\bf recover} files lost by a system crash}{M-x recover-session}
\metax{{\bf undo} an unwanted change}{C-x u, C-_ {\rm or} C-/}
\metax{restore a buffer to its original contents}{M-x revert-buffer}
\key{redraw garbaged screen}{C-l}

\section{Incremental Search}

\key{search forward}{C-s}
\key{search backward}{C-r}
\key{regular expression search}{C-M-s}
\key{reverse regular expression search}{C-M-r}

\key{select previous search string}{M-p}
\key{select next later search string}{M-n}
\key{exit incremental search}{RET}
\key{undo effect of last character}{DEL}
\key{abort current search}{C-g}

Use \kbd{C-s} or \kbd{C-r} again to repeat the search in either direction.
If Emacs is still searching, \kbd{C-g} cancels only the part not matched.

\section{Simple Customization}

\metax{customize variables and faces}{M-x customize}

% The intended audience here is the person who wants to make simple
% customizations and knows Lisp syntax.

Making global key bindings in Emacs Lisp (example):

\beginexample%
(global-set-key (kbd "C-c g") 'search-forward)
(global-set-key (kbd "M-\#") 'query-replace-regexp)
\endexample

\section{Writing Commands}

\beginexample%
(defun \<command-name> (\<args>)
  "\<documentation>" (interactive "\<template>")
  \<body>)
\endexample

An example:

\beginexample%
(defun this-line-to-top-of-window (line)
  "Reposition current line to top of window.
With prefix argument LINE, put point on LINE."
  (interactive "P")
  (recenter (if (null line)
                0
              (prefix-numeric-value line))))
\endexample

The \kbd{interactive} spec says how to read arguments interactively.
Type \kbd{C-h f interactive RET} for more details.
