Emacs, précis et concis

by Debra Cameron

GNU Emacs is the most popular and widespread of the Emacs family of editors. It is also the most powerful and flexible. Unlike all other text editors, GNU Emacs is a complete working environment -- you can stay within Emacs all day without leaving. The GNU Emacs Pocket Reference is a companion volume to O'Reilly's Learning GNU Emacs, which tells you how to get started with the GNU Emacs editor and, as you become more proficient, it will help you learn how to use Emacs more effectively. This small book, covering Emacs version 20, is a handy reference guide to the basic elements of this powerful editor, presenting the Emacs commands in an easy-to-use tabular format.

As this is, by far, my favourite text editor, I have thumbed through this reference innumerable times. There always seems to be a new set of commands to learn and to try to retain. Emacs is awesome and this book has really helped me drudge through it. I use emacs, in fact, on a daily basis.

Just a handy reference to complement the other author's book on the same subject.
