Emacs Again (4): Learning GNU Emacs Chap 1

I got Learning GNU Emacs, Third Edition. And here’s the summary I learned from Chapter 1.

Key Stroke Command Name Action
C-x C-f find-file Find file and read it into a new buffer.
C-x C-v find-alternate-file Read an alternate file, replacing the one you’ve done with C-x C-f
C-x i insert-file Insert file at point position.
M-> end-of-buffer Move point to the end of the buffer; leave mark at previous position. By being followed by C-x i you can append file.
C-x C-s save-buffer Save buffer with the current buffer name.
C-x C-w write-buffer Emacs prompts you to set a new file name, and save it.
C-x C-c save-buffers-kill-emacs Exit Emacs with asking you if there are any un-saved buffer. But *scratch* is different. Even you’ve editted *scratch*, Emacs discard it silently.
C-h help-command Enter the online help.
C-h ? help-for-help (or help-for-help-internal) Display a list of available help command?
C-h f describe-function Display help for a given command.
C-h k describe-key Display help for a given key stroke.
C-h v describe-variable Display help for a given variable (a symbol).
C-h t help-with-tutorial Start Emacs tutorial.
