# Getting help about Emacs
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Emacs is a very big software and you'll surely will need help about
|
||
|
|
it. There are some ways to get help on Emacs.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Self documenting text editor
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Emacs claims to be a *self-documenting* text editor. And it's true:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Emacs has a lot of built-in documentation. For example. If you don't
|
||
|
|
know what the C-r keybindings do, you can do this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
C-h k C-r_
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Emacs will split and will show what the keybindings you gave does.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Emacs has a built-in tutorial. You can access to it by pressing C-h t.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
## Getting help from another users
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You can talk to other Emacs users and ask them for help on some sites:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* [Emacs stack exchange](https://emacs.stackexchange.com/)
|
||
|
|
* [The help-gnu-emacs mailing list](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-gnu-emacs/)
|
||
|
|
* #emacs on freenode
|
