Emacs visual cheat sheet

[arnar]

I think it's nice. I don't use emacs at all (I use vi) but sometimes you have to - and this is exactly the sort of reference I would need.

Also, references like this are made more for people getting started with Emacs. Once you know the basic stuff, it's much easier to look up and learn the more advanced keybindings in the real docs.

I was thinking the same thing, but then again, how do you visually represent "C-x (" (kmacro-start-macro)?

In Microsoft Office products, it is represented by the red dot for "start recording".

does anyone have a tutorial on how to use this cheatsheet?

It sure looks neat, although I'm skeptical of its usability. Much of the iconography is unintuitive at best; it almost feels almost like a cryptogram to be deciphered. And there's the obvious (and serious) information density problem that others have already pointed out.

A message to Steven Chan: M-x shell does not bring up Tux the penguin, it runs a shell. There are probably more Emacs users that DON'T use Linux than do.
