Personally mine was just getting around buffers; creating new ones, splitting windows, deleting the ones I don’t need and so on. In the beginning I used to have just a single file open at a time like nano

    Where the hell is the “meta” key and why does every command tutorial online talk about it.

      Remnant of the type of keyboard that Emacs was developed on. Also the same place that the Super, Hyper, and Compose keys originate from

      You can map it through your X server/Wayland compositor, but if not Emacs recognizes Alt and Esc as valid meta keys
