IMHO, the tutorial needs to be reworked, now that basic cursor motion
is no longer a mystery for novices. So the "BASIC CURSOR CONTROL"
section should be a lot shorter than it is now. It should just tell
that cursor motion keys ``work as usual'', and show the keyboard
equivalents of the editing keys (C-n for <down>, C-f for <right>,
etc.), telling the new users they are advised to learn them because
those keys allow for faster typing.
I have doubts about this change.
What I think we don't need is to explain, demonstrate, and drill the
user in basic cursor motion.
Drilling them is what teaches them to use C-f rather than an arrow key.
So maybe it is still worth while to drill them.
too much. Some ideas for things to add:
- Options menu and Customize
- Frames
- Region and the mark
- Command history in the minibuffer
- M-x compile and M-x grep
The region seems like the most important one to add.
The others don't seem basic enough.
