Favorite Emacs Shortcuts

Note that many of these commands depend on your terminal type. Here's a nice Emacs link, and here is some stuff explaining shortcut keys. These the ones I always forget (and the list keeps growing)

Replace: shift-alt-% Prompts user for string to replace, and replacement string, queries user to verify each instance.
Replace (non-interactively): M-x replace string RET remove string RET replace string RET This replaces all instances with no prompting. Good for replacing commas with spaces. For me "M-x" is usually just "Alt-x".
