I tried to switch to emacs but couldn't find an introductory tutorial that was written for mere mortals.
Currently use vim, or things like gedit and kate that come w/ a DE. I would really like to learn to use emacs, but the last so called "beginner" tutorial I tried started with _learn a new lisp dialect so you can write emacs extensions_. Seriously.
Does anyone know where to find a tutorial that teaches you how to do things like open a file, type some stuff, and save the file?
Maybe show whitespace change highlighting modes and a few hotkeys if I want to get fancy... but like otherwise normal beginner stuff?
Aside from the built in docs, mastering emacs is quite beginner friendly.
It's aimed at people with prior programming experience, but not any emacs experience.
You can get a few chapters for free.
