Most newcomers are familiar = with > finding functionality with the mouse; Library `mouse3.el' gives you a context-sensitive menu on `mouse-3'. And yet it still also gives you the normal Emacs `mouse-3' behavior. You or your code can customize what the menu shows in different contexts. https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/Mouse3 > how should I find new functions...? I'm guessing you mean functions (in particular, commands) that are new to you, and not necessarily new to Emacs. Icicles can help with discoverability in a few ways: * See what you can do at any moment: . See which possible inputs are expected by a command that reads input . See which key sequences are currently available, which of them are general vs which are local, and what each of them does * See individual descriptions of the possible inputs, that is, help on completion candidates * Find menu items more easily * Find commands more easily * Find help in the doc * Learn how to use regexps https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/EmacsNewbieWithIcicles Menus in general, and La Carte in particular, can also help with discoverability, and even more so when combined with substring or regexp completion (e.g. Icicles). https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/LaCarte
