   The OP indicated he's intimidated with emacs keyboard shortcuts.

Another way is to print out the reference card and keep it handy.
To see what is available, try: ‘M-x locate RET refcards RET’.

   [menus]

Implicit in menu presentation and interaction is a (usually)
inscrutable ontology, which personally, i find extremely
intimidating.  The reference card is like the menu, passive,
but differs in that it leaves the exploration path undefined.
At times, i find that to be intimidating as well, but less so,
and moreover, ever less so, more quickly.

rickety path and jump into space
heart-pounding wrath: decision misplaced?!
fear falls fast before familiarity
dear walls (six cols): command clarity.
much fuller math: more coverage, less waste.
