That's a lovely reply! The problem with emacs is there is just too much, and the chaff obscures the wheat. It frustrates me too, as there's some really good stuff there that I don't know about. Suggest grabbing the emacs book https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-gnu-emacs/0596006489/ https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/learning-gnu-emacs/0596... and/or the emacs manual from https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/ https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/manual/ (free pdf) and go through them. They will repay the time! Good luck and remember any pro emacs user will trip themselves up to help newbies learn!
