Hello and thank you for reading this. I’m starting my journey to study Emacs, and I’m interested in turning Emacs in my IDE (mainly C, C++, JavaScript, Rust, and Python, etc…) and taking notes. Could you please give me your best suggestion on how to accomplish my goals? Thank you once more, and have a wonderful day/night.

Learn to Ask Emacs. Use the Help menu in the menu-bar - get to know it well. Learn the help commands on prefix key C-h, including C-h r, which takes you to the Emacs manual, and C-h S, which looks up a symbol (word) in that manual.

Learn how to create and use keyboard macros. Over time, learn some Elisp, which is the golden key to asking Emacs.
