This installment of Life with Emacs doesn’t have much in the way of opinions or what I’m using it for, instead I’ll just be posting the cheatsheet I’ve been keeping in hopes that it might help someone else out. As time goes on, I’ll keep adding to this. For now, I present to you my Emacs cheatsheet:

-- Buffers --
C-x C-f         Open existing (or new) file
C-x C-s         Save buffer
C-x C-w         Save buffer as...
C-x C-c         Exit Emacs

C-x b                   Switch to buffer. Type in the name.
C-x     Cycle through buffers
C-x 1           Return to 1 window
C-x 2           Split window into two
C-x o           Switch windows

-- Moving / Editing --
C-a             Beginning of line
C-e             End of line
C-s             Search
M-x string      Find and replace
C-w             Cut
M-w             Copy
C-y             Paste (yank)
C-k             Cut text to end of line
