find-file return, and then type in the file that I want to find, which in this case I think I started what was it? tilde slash demo slash new file, and there it is. Now, I've just opened, I've just visited that file that I created before the coffee break. And I did that not with ctrl-x, ctrl-f. I did it with m-x, and then I invoked the same function, find-file function, that ctrl-x, ctrl-f has been mapped to. So, for every keyboard shortcut that you use in Emacs, there is a, somewhere in the backend, there's a function for that, which makes sense. I mean, it makes total sense, right? But that's how that works. So, it may stand to reason in a way that there are other functions that aren't mapped to keyboard shortcuts. So, for instance, one of my favorites, well, I guess one of the easiest ones, is m-x and then the word shell. That opens up a terminal, a little shell terminal window buffer, a terminal prompt in a buffer in Emacs. So, it splits your Emacs window into half, and the bottom (37/54)
