The key labeled in the command, the uppercase C for control, the keyboard is usually the CTRL key, and M for Meta, on the keyboard is usually the ALT key, S is the shift, on the keyboard is usually the SHIFT key, that is:
C--->control M--->alt s-->shift
These three keys in Emacs are usually used as the leading key combination, that is, you may need to hold down the key before executing a command, such as the Search command is c-s, to execute this command first to hold the CTRL key, then press the letter S key, and open the file command is C-x c-f, To open the file you have to press the CTRL key, press X and F (of course, you can also press CTRL and then press the X, release, and then press CTRL and then press f), and some command combination keys and non-combination keys are used, such as saving all the files are c-x s, you need to press CTRL not put down when the X, Then let go of all the keys, and then press S, there are two combinations of keys used together, such as the use of regular expressions for incremental search shortcut keys are c-s-%, which requires you to press CTRL and ALT not release, and then press S.
Activate Emacs
In the context of a graphical interface, you only need to enter Emacs in the terminal to press ENTER or find the icon to activate the Emacs program to open it.
Emacs with a character interface in an environment or pseudo-terminal without a graphical interface can enter EMACS-NW, which is to add a-NW parameter.
suspend Emacs --->c-z
Hangs in the graphical interface is usually the use of the Emacs window to minimize the meaning, and in the character interface is to put Emacs into the background after the back to the terminal, for example, under the Gnu/linux character Terminal Press C-z will return to the shell, using the jobs command to list all of your suspended tasks, With FG you can return a task that was suspended for the last time, FG%num can choose to go back to any of the suspended tasks
Exit Emacs ---->c-x c-z
If there is no unsaved file, then this command exits the Emacs program, otherwise it will prompt you to save the file.
