Example text

As the repositories are privately owned by volunteers, they may go down – temporarily or permanently – so I would check the Emacs Wiki15 for a current list of repositories. For now though, you can add this to your init file. It includes the official repository and two unofficial, communitymaintained repositories. org/emacs-en/ELPA First Steps '(("gnu" . org/packages/") ("marmalade" . org/packages/") ("melpa" . net/packages/"))) Now is a good time to make Emacs evaluate it. Execute the command M-x eval-buffer with your init file as the current buffer.

Python) First Steps customizes the major mode of your current buffer. You should do this for every major mode you use. It’s a quick way to change things and gain an overview of what your major mode can do. M-x customize-mode Displays all your saved options and faces. Extremely handy if you want to track down and disable errant changes. M-x customize-saved M-x customize-themes Shows a list of installed themes you can switch to. I encourage you to use the Customize interface to configure Emacs. It only has a subset of things you can (or want) to change, but it’s enough to get you started on the road to personalizing Emacs.

The way to interpret it is to first hold down control and then press and release x. In your echo area, Emacs will display – after a small idle period of about a second – C-x(with a dash at the end) which is Emacs’s way of telling you that it expects additional keys. Finally, type C-f which should be easy for you to do now: hold down control and press f. To type C-x C-f, you don’t have to release the control key between each key — keeping control pressed helps you maintain something I call tempo, which I will talk about later.
