A few conventions and notations are used throughout this wiki. Most of them are very similar to those used in the Emacs Manual
Key bindings
The notation [C-M-a], denotes a key binding. Here, C- represents the <Control> key (which is labelled <Ctrl> on most keyboards), M- represents the <Meta> key (which is labelled <Alt> on most keyboards), and a simply represents the a key. Thus, to produce this key combination, you should press simultaneously the <Ctrl>, <Alt>, and a keys on your keyboard.
You can form sequences of key bindings. For example [C-x C-c] denotes the [C-x] key combination (i.e. <ctrl>+x) followed by the [C-c] key combination (i.e. <ctrl>+c).
Below is a list of some keys you might encounter on this wiki:
| notation | corresponding key |
|---|---|
| C- | <Ctrl> |
| M- | <Meta> or <Alt> |
| S- | <Shift> |
| left | <left arrow> |
