Your on-the-fly Emacs development environment.
Emacs-bootstrap uses opinionated code templates which will be used to generate your emacs configurations. It enables you to select the programming languages you work with the most and will generate enough Emacs configs to get you started crunching code.
Here are some basic shortcuts that Emacs provides along with configured shortcuts by Emacs-bootstrap:
Note that C- means pressing your Control key + some other key. For example, C-x means Control + X. Same goes for M which is your Meta key. That can be the Escape key on your keyboard or the ALT key.
One of the packages installed is called 'which-key' which displays the list of available keys after a certain prefix. Try it out, press C-x and which-key will display available shortcuts that you can use to invoke a certain functionality.
