By default, the prefix keys in Emacs are @kbd{C-c}, @kbd{C-h},
@kbd{C-x}, @kbd{C-x @key{RET}}, @kbd{C-x @@}, @kbd{C-x a}, @kbd{C-x
n}, @kbd{C-x r}, @kbd{C-x v}, @kbd{C-x 4}, @kbd{C-x 5}, @kbd{C-x 6},
-@key{ESC}, @kbd{M-g}, and @kbd{M-o}. (@key{F1} and @key{F2} are
-aliases for @kbd{C-h} and @kbd{C-x 6}.) This list is not cast in
-stone; if you customize Emacs, you can make new prefix keys. You
-could even eliminate some of the standard ones, though this is not
-recommended for most users; for example, if you remove the prefix
-definition of @kbd{C-x 4}, then @kbd{C-x 4 C-f} becomes an invalid key
-sequence. @xref{Key Bindings}.

Typing the help character (@kbd{C-h} or @key{F1}) after a prefix key
displays a list of the commands starting with that prefix. The sole
buffer. There are three ways to enter two-column mode:
@table @asis
-@item @kbd{@key{F2} 2} or @kbd{C-x 6 2}
+@item @kbd{@key{F2} 2}
@kindex F2 2
-@kindex C-x 6 2
@findex 2C-two-columns
Enter two-column mode with the current buffer on the left, and on the
right, a buffer whose name is based on the current buffer's name
This command is appropriate when the current buffer is empty or contains
just one column and you want to add another column.
-@item @kbd{@key{F2} s} or @kbd{C-x 6 s}
+@item @kbd{@key{F2} s}
@kindex F2 s
-@kindex C-x 6 s
@findex 2C-split
Split the current buffer, which contains two-column text, into two
buffers, and display them side by side (@code{2C-split}). The current
two-column text, and you wish to separate the columns temporarily.
@item @kbd{@key{F2} b @var{buffer} @key{RET}}
-@itemx @kbd{C-x 6 b @var{buffer} @key{RET}}
@kindex F2 b
-@kindex C-x 6 b
@findex 2C-associate-buffer
Enter two-column mode using the current buffer as the left-hand buffer,
and using buffer @var{buffer} as the right-hand buffer
(@code{2C-associate-buffer}).
@end table
- @kbd{@key{F2} s} or @kbd{C-x 6 s} looks for a column separator, which
-is a string that appears on each line between the two columns. You can
-specify the width of the separator with a numeric argument to
-@kbd{@key{F2} s}; that many characters, before point, constitute the
-separator string. By default, the width is 1, so the column separator
-is the character before point.

When a line has the separator at the proper place, @kbd{@key{F2} s}
puts the text after the separator into the right-hand buffer, and

@kindex F2 RET
-@kindex C-x 6 RET
@findex 2C-newline
- The command @kbd{@key{F2} @key{RET}} or @kbd{C-x 6 @key{RET}}
-(@code{2C-newline}) inserts a newline in each of the two buffers at
-corresponding positions. This is the easiest way to add a new line to

@kindex F2 1
-@kindex C-x 6 1
@findex 2C-merge
When you have edited both buffers as you wish, merge them with
-@kbd{@key{F2} 1} or @kbd{C-x 6 1} (@code{2C-merge}). This copies the
+@kbd{@key{F2} 1} (@code{2C-merge}). This copies the
text from the right-hand buffer as a second column in the other buffer.
To go back to two-column editing, use @kbd{@key{F2} s}.
@kindex F2 d
-@kindex C-x 6 d
@findex 2C-dissociate
- Use @kbd{@key{F2} d} or @kbd{C-x 6 d} to dissociate the two buffers,
-leaving each as it stands (@code{2C-dissociate}). If the other buffer,
-the one not current when you type @kbd{@key{F2} d}, is empty,
-@kbd{@key{F2} d} kills it.
