Emacs keybinding cheatsheet

Keys	Description
C	Ctrl
M	Alt
	Helper functions:
C-h k key-binding	Describe the function bound to the key binding. To get this to work, you actually perform the key sequence after typing C-h k.
C-h f	Describe function.
	Cider/REPL bindings:
M-x cider-jack-in	Jack into the REPL
	Window key bindings:
C-x o	Switch cursor to another window. Try this now to switch between your Clojure file and the REPL.
C-x 1	Delete all other windows, leaving only the current window in the frame. This doesn’t close your buffers, and it won’t cause you to lose any work.
C-x 2	Split frame above and below.
C-x 3	Split frame side by side.
C-x 0	Delete current window. In Emacs, editing takes place in buffers.
	Buffer key bindings
C-x b	To switch to a buffer, use C-x b and enter the buffer name in the minibuffer.
...	To create a new buffer, use C-x b and enter a new buffer name.
C-x C-f	To open a file, use C-x C-f and navigate to the file.
...	To create a new file, use C-x C-f and enter the new file’s path. When you save the buffer, Emacs will create the file on the filesystem.
C-x C-s	To save a buffer to a file.
	Navigation:
C-a	Move to beginning of line.
M-m	Move to first non-whitespace character on the line.
C-e	Move to end of line.
C-f	Move forward one character.
C-b	Move backward one character.
M-f	Move forward one word (I use this a lot).
M-b	Move backward one word (I use this a lot, too).
C-s	Regex search for text in current buffer and move to it. Press C-s again to move to next match.
C-r	Same as C-s, but search in reverse.
M-<	Move to beginning of buffer.
M->	Move to end of buffer.
M-g g	Go to line.
	Kill/yank key bindings:
C-spc	Selection of regions
C-w	Kill region.
M-w	Copy region to kill ring.
C-y	Yank.
M-y	Cycle through kill ring after yanking.
M-d	Kill word.
C-k	Kill line.
	Editing / Helping:
Tab	Indent line.
C-j	New line and indent, equivalent to enter followed by tab.
M-/	Hippie expand; cycles through possible expansions of the text before point.
M-\	Delete all spaces and tabs around point. (I use this one a lot.)
	Clojure Buffer Key Bindings:
C-c M-n	Switch to namespace of current buffer.
C-x C-e	Evaluate expression immediately preceding point.
C-c C-k	Compile current buffer.
C-c C-d C-d	Display documentation for symbol under point.
M-. and M-,	Navigate to source code for symbol under point and return to your original buffer.
C-c C-d C-a	Apropros search; find arbitrary text across function names and documentation.
	CIDER Buffer Key Bindings
C-↑, C-↓	Cycle through REPL history.
C-enter	Close parentheses and evaluate.
