file's buffer. Having to switch back to that buffer, in order to save
it with C-x C-s, would be a nuisance. So we have
- C-x s Save some buffers
+ C-x s Save some buffers to their files
-C-x s asks you about each buffer which contains changes that you have
-not saved. It asks you, for each such buffer, whether to save the
-buffer.
+C-x s asks you about each file-visiting buffer which contains changes
+that you have not saved. It asks you, for each such buffer, whether
+to save the buffer to its file.
>> Insert a line of text, then type C-x s.
It should ask you whether to save the buffer named TUTORIAL.
There are many C-x commands. Here is a list of the ones you have learned:
C-x C-f Find file
- C-x C-s Save file
- C-x s Save some buffers
+ C-x C-s Save buffer to file
+ C-x s Save some buffers to their files
C-x C-b List buffers
C-x b Switch buffer
C-x C-c Quit Emacs
You can learn more about Emacs by reading its manual, either as a
printed book, or inside Emacs (use the Help menu or type C-h r).
Two features that you may like especially are completion, which saves
-typing, and dired, which simplifies file handling.
+typing, and Dired, which simplifies file handling.
Completion is a way to avoid unnecessary typing. For instance, if you
want to switch to the *Messages* buffer, you can type C-x b *M<Tab>
