Specifically I was wondering if there is some mode that reduces all (to these users) "dangerous" aspects of emacs, like key chords etc, that could be confusing? Also adding windows-like keys etc would be perfect, like ctrl+x/c/v, and anything else I might have forgotten. Would I just need an .emacs here? I.e. could I disable key chords by simply unbinding all keys? (And in that case, is there any easy way to do this?) I will use this in combination with the latex-mode, using a simplified version of latex (i.e. they will be using new commands defined by me), and some easy key bindings I would add afterwards. Thus I would want things to remain simple after loading this major mode.
