This is an attempt to compile a crib sheet on emacs commands I might care
to use, as in, I have used before and might use again.  If you want a
complete list of key bindings, just type: C-h b

If you want info on any of the particular bindings below, you can use emacs
help in either of these two ways:
C-h k key-sequence (e.g., C-h k C-x C-v)
C-h f function-name (e.g., C-h f find-alternate-file)

Anytime you make a mistake and want to stop a key sequence just use C-g.
