> Nobody really reads 18 chapters of documentation before making keyboard mappings. I make keyboard mappings and I read 0 chapters of the documentation. 0. Zero. How? Just like you do anything else in software these days? Looking it up, jumping directly to the documentation I needed to learn how to do key maps.

Yes, and that's the approach I used multiple times, the same approach that helped me learn Vim. The learning curve is much steeper, and Vimtutor is much easier to comprehend than the C-t h tutorial.

That's what I tried to say in the first comment, and people attacked me by saying Emacs has awesome documentation. Now you're attacking me, saying that documentation doesn't matter and nobody reads it anyway...
