Eev for beginners: restructuring the first hour or so

0. The basic map

Install WSL

sudo apt-get update

find eev in the list    --> if on an Emacs28 with a bad GPG key,
install eev             <-- fix that with 2024-no-public-key

  ^ Problem: this needs Google Chrome...
    ...but at least now the user knows M-e and M-k!


1. Links to videos

Some sections of the tutorials - like this one - have links to videos. Try to click on the timestamps in each of the lines below to understand how these links work in the browser:

(find-eevnavhsubs "06:29" "M-j: you can forget practically everything...")
(find-eevnavvideo "06:29" "M-j: you can forget practically everything...")

Links like those will only work inside Emacs after some things are configured.


1. Without memorizing

Two (basic) tricks to get by without memorizing key sequences:
  1. Learn how to use the menu bar and the tool bar (screenshot)
  2. Keep each one of the links below open in a browser tab
     (click on the `")' at the end of each line):
     (find-emacs-keys-intro "2. Key sequences and how to abort them")
     (find-emacs-keys-intro "3. Cutting & pasting")
     (find-emacs-keys-intro "6. Windows")


2. M-j

You can forget everything except for the three main keys,
  M-e - execute
  M-k - kill
  M-j - jump
...and you can use M-j to remember and re-learn all the rest.
Start by learning how to use the links and key sequences in
