emacs for everyday use

After nearly a month's use of emacs, I find myself deeply attracted by this cool editor.

Below are some useful short cuts during the daily use.

Section1:

　　(1)move:

　　　　C-a Move to beginning of line

　　　　M-m Move to the first non-whitespace character on the line

　　　　C-e Move to the end of line

　　　　C-f Move forward one character

　　　　M-f Move forward one word

　　　　M-b Move backward one word

　　　　C-s Regex search for text in the current buffer and move to it. Hit C-s again to move to the next match

　　　　C-r Same as above, but search in reverse

　　　　M-< Move to beginning of buffer

　　　　M-> Move to end of buffer

　　　　M-g g Go to line

　　(2)select some area

　　Mark the start of the area:C-spc(if the input short cut haven't had effect on it) or　C-@　

　　Your selecting area will expand as your curosr moves.　

　　(3) replace

　　replace: M-x-replace-string

　　(4) emacs' "copy,cut,delete"

　　Emacs' has its own way of dealing with these traditional operations——killing and the killing ring

　　after selecting some area ,you can kill the area by C-w

　　you can copy what u just kill back by C-y

　　furthermore, by repeating M-y operations ,you can copy what you killed before back

　　Summary:

　　C-w: kill the region

　　C-y :Yank

　　M-w: copy killed region to the kill ring

　　M-y: cycle through kill ring after yanking

　　M-d: kill word

　　C-k: kill line
