It seems that the GNU Emacs reference card, which is available at
https://www.gnu.org/software/emacs/refcards/pdf/refcard.pdf,
has some errors.
First, "select next later search string: M-n" should be changed to
"select next search string".
Second, "abort partially typed or executing command: C-g" should be
changed to "quit partially typed or executing command", since the
word "abort" is actually reserved for C-] (according to the user
manual).

Now fixed in the source, so the pdfs should be updated the next time
they're regenerated.

That's true, but the refcards should be terse and readily
understandable, and I think the current formulation is fine.
