But all of the keybindings are unfamiliar. C-z doesn't undo. C-c
doesn't copy. The words are all wrong too: it's called font-lock, not
syntax highlighting. A frame is a window and a window is a pane. It
opens by default in lisp evaluation mode. And where is the meta key
anyways?

You are like a fish in water, unable to see the ocean  and forgetting
what it was like to learn how to swim. The Emacs Tao flows through you
and you through it.
