Cheat Sheet All Prompts

Appart from adapting foreign keymaps, and adding more & more stuff to prompts, and planning to make all of this easier and more maintainable, I’m looking at making Emacs-Nu even easier to learn & use. One obvious path is to try to reduce exceptions & extend rules application.

Exceptions are

• Inversed prompts : some prompts are called from control. These are : open [because alt is used for paddle, and because opening something always implies a choice], and help [we could change this, but is that an issue? maybe - in such case we want a nu-help nice buffer on control-h]
• Deviant paddle : alt o does forward-word, but control-o does not kill-word (see above). Use control-d for this (kill-word), or Alt+d o (kill-word). Similarly, alt+h is a synonym for alt + ^, but control+h will not delete to bol (see above).

• b.=beginning of, e.=end of, n.=next (forward), p.=previous (backward)
• kl = kill, sw = switch (, toggle, transpose)
• w. word, lk=link

To sum up, the sole acceptable modifier while two-handed editing is Alt. Temporary use of control or specific use of control o/p/l/m is ok.

Alt : excellent for the azer qsdf uiop jklm. Poor for wxcv ty gh bn This is why these prompts are poor. Control : Poor, except for uiop jklm o t one h, wxcv otoh => but this otoh implies to stop workflow. Thus, control w x c v is fine while stopping for a while (1/2 sec.) Control + Alt : Unconvenient. But once again uiop jkml is still usable.

Shift + Alt : Only fine for uiop jkml. Once again!
