I once found this: http://www.dur.ac.uk/p.j.heslin/Software/Emacs/Easymacs/index.php To quote the homepage: >Easymacs is an easy-to-learn, one-size-fits-all configuration for new users of GNU Emacs.

Many commonly-used functions can be >accessed without having to learn the "chords", or multiple serial keystrokes that Emacs uses by default. I personally never used it. If you go for it, it would be nice to get some feedback so I know if it is really recommendable... Hope this helps memnon
