Thanks for the tip Paul, but I did it a couple years ago. It is the
single reason why I am addicted to emacs keybindings and have to
reconfigure every editor I try to use them (and why I can't use vi very
well). I [think I] know pretty much all the key commands featured in
this tutorial, like C-G and C-B etc, but IIRC it doesn't go into these
more advanced commands very far, and I've never really had the
opportunity to hone them.
I have been meaning to spend more time learning Objective-C, and brush
up on my C programming. I vowed to use emacs when I do, simply to force
myself to learn a lot of these shortcuts and tips. (Of all the editors
or IDEs I've used [not very many], emacs and vi seem most ideal for C
programming.)
