This information can be found in the tutorial (C-h t): Emacs commands generally involve the CONTROL key (sometimes labeled CTRL or CTL) or the META key (sometimes labeled EDIT or ALT). Rather tha= n write that in full each time, we'll use the following abbreviations: C- means hold the CONTROL key while typing the character Thus, C-f would be: hold the CONTROL key and type f. M- means hold the META or EDIT or ALT key down while typing . If there is no META, EDIT or ALT key, instead press and release the ESC key and then type . We write for the ESC key. > As for extending Emacs with Ruby and Julia.=C2=A0 What I meant was to > provide a Ruby and Julia programming mode. As far as I can tell, there is already built-in support for Ruby. You should just be able to open any Ruby file and be ready to go. (There are many other useful Emacs packages for Ruby to find online.) As for Julia, a quick search reveals this third-party package: https://github.com/JuliaEditorSupport/julia-emacs You could install it from MELPA: https://www.melpa.org/ Best regards, Stefan Kangas
