How to install eev with M-x list-packages and how to navigate its tutorials
This is a very basic video about Emacs and eev.
The easiest way to install eev in Emacs is with `M-x list-packages'.
This video shows how to do that and how to navigate its
tutorials with the keys `M-e', `M-j', and `M-k'.
The three most basic keys of eev are `M-e' (eval), `M-j' (jump), and `M-k' (kill).
The fourth of the three most basic keys is `<f8>' (eepitch-this-line).
Click on the timestamps below to play the video on Youtube starting
from that position.
Or, if you prefer to download a
copy of the video and its subtitles with wget and play it with mpv,
then run the two "wget"s and the "mpv" in the beige block
below in a shell:
0:00
0:19 Let me load my notes...
0:31 0.1. M-x package-initialize
0:39 0.2. M-x list-packages
0:44 run M-x list-packages and wait a bit
1:26 click on eev, click on install
1:42 just installs eev but doesn't change any defaults
2:25 installed but not active by default
2:30 0.3. M-x eev-beginner (to activate eev and enter the tutorial)
3:06 a section about how Emacs deals with elisp expressions
3:17 elisp expressions that can be used as hyperlinks
3:41 you just need to remember two keys
3:46 0.4. for the beginners: quitting and restarting
4:06 the part of the sequence of keys
4:21 go to the file menu, click quit
4:46 enter emacs again, type M-x eev-beginner
5:17 1. Basic keys (eev)
5:26 M-e goes to the end of the line and...
6:28 M-j: you can forget practically everything...
6:41 if you type just M-j
6:48 has a header that is beginner-friendly
7:20 if I execute this ... (find-emacs-keys-intro)
7:30 a copy of the instructions that I showed before
8:06 in the other sections: Emacs concepts, other Emacs keys
8:19 hyperlink to the section about quitting in the manual
8:48 most of the entries have hyperlinks to the manual
9:48 M-j with numeric prefixes
9:59 M-2 M-j runs (find-emacs-keys-intro)

10:09 In section 6 of the main tutorial we have:
10:20 section 6: eepitch - how to control shells
10:36 if I type six times here
10:50 we have a shell running inside Emacs
11:22 oops, I forgot to explain M-k!
11:33 you can go back from the new buffer by killing
11:40 ee-kill-this-buffer
Sending commands to shells
My talk at the EmacsConf2021 was about "test blocks".
Here are links to its page, slides, and video, but if you understand
how <f8> works - explained in the video above at 10:20, and
in the image below,
