In emacs documentation, when you see something like "m-x", it means, use the 'meta' key, then 'x'. On many keyboards, the 'meta' is the left 'alt' key. If this is the case, you hold the 'left-alt' and the 'x' at the same time. If this mapping is not in place (even if it is), the 'meta' is the 'escape' key. When using 'escape', you hit this first, release it, then, hit 'x'. Similarly, a 'c-' in an emacs command description refers to the 'control' key. -Dave Octavian Rasnita writes: > Hi, Thanks for the tips. > What do you mean by m-x? > Should I type M, then - then x?
