Re: Using commands in Emacs

[max . le . libertaire]

Hi,

C-x 2 mean you have to press the keys [CONTROL] + [x] and then [2] and the
window will split immediately.
M-x mean [ALT] + [x] and is a way to (for instance) call a command like
"shell-command" (the same you invoke from the tool menu).
And there is also a command you must try in emacs, it is C-h t ( [Control]
+ [h] + [t] )

Sorry if i don't understand correctly your message or if i made some
mistake but i'm not a native english speaker.
