I'm in the minority and think the tutorial is awful. "Here's this software everyone says is so great. Before you can actually use it, be sure to spend 20 minutes doing a bunch of stuff for which you don't have context/don't have motivation for"

No thanks.

Instead, literally just start using it and ask an LLM for help as you go.



An LLM is great at writing a first shot at key bindings to suit your taste, and recipes for Emacs' four syntactically different yet functionally overlapping configuration schemes.

The maybe complementary, or at least deterministic source of advice is old school 'M-x info'.
