Movement in Emacs

A little cheat sheet for movement in emacs. Tried to capture all the ways you can move up, down, left and right in a buffer.

Moving by Character and Line

Think next and previous for lines, and backward and forward for characters.

                   Previous Line C-p
                           ^
                           |
Previous Character C-b <---+---> Next Character C-f
                           |
		           v
                     Next Line C-n

Moving by Word and Sentence

            Backward Sentence M-a
                      ^
                      |
Backward Word M-b <---+---> Forward Word M-f
                      |
		      v
            Forward Sentence M-e

Moving to Beginning of Line and Buffer

                Buffer Start M-<
                       ^
                       |
Line Beginning C-a <---+---> Line End C-e
                       |
		       v
                 Buffer End M->

Moving to first non-whitespace Character

The M-m will run back-to-indentation.
