Notes
- Press alt + x and type
describe-, you can findout almost anything in Emacs by yourself. - Emacs is more highly customizable than you think.
- I mainly support the version that I'm using, most of the code should work on other versions, but I don't have time to care about compatiblity. You can get help from search engine and the great emacs communities (reddit/emacs, Emacs StackExchange, emacs-china).
- Do not expect too much, and you'll be happy.
