Brand new to Emacs? Here's some hints and aids for when you just want to know some stuff. Addresses Emacs and Vim, and also provides some other distractions for when you're in need of them.
The notes.org file is a condensing of some of the information available from Vim help and Emacs info documents; other information came from the irc://freenode#emacs and irc://liberachat#emacs channel. I've also added some tips from stuff I've learned along the way. And when you just want to chill out, I've added some of the soundtracks I've come across. There's even some programming tips for plenty of other computer languages. Other information (in one instance) came from the emacs wiki.
You're brand new. So was I, once. Now I'm not quite so brand new, but there's still a lot I don't know about. I haven't really explored exotic topics such as Tramp, gnus/mu4e, or the whole Elisp ecosystem that Emacs lives on. I also don't address emacs variants such as spacemacs or Doom Emacs. I'm also addressing people that have some familiarity with editors in general, and have figured out how to open up emacs, get a file, change that, save it and shut the editor down. If you don't know these things, then there are other resources out there for people who are even newer to emacs (or vim) than this document addresses. I may even write one one of these days. Perhaps I could call it bn2emacs (Brand New to Emacs).
That's probably because you should download this file, and open it up with some version of emacs, preferably one later than 23.4.1 but even that will do at a pinch. If you don't have emacs and you're using vim, then there's a plugin version of org mode for vim. It won't be as complete as the org-mode in emacs, as (to the best of my knowledge) the vim plugin doesn't do tangling but it should get you a long way.
It's even viewable in any text editor that's not emacs or vim, but you miss all the benefits of collapsing (folding) headings and of course, most of the Emacs and Vim instructions are relevant only to these two editors specifically. If your editor actually supports org mode, then great! There is an org mode plugin for VS Code, but I've never installed it, so I can't say how well it will work for anyone. There might even be plugins available for Pulsar.
