What do you use to move cursor in Emacs?
I know emacs will sometime use tab to advance the cursor to the next tab-stop, instead of positioning the cursor manually.

How to disable GCC warnings in Emacs 26.1?
The new option ‘configure –enable-gcc-warnings=warn-only’ causes GCC to issue warnings without stopping the build. This behavior is now the default in developer builds. As before, use ‘–disable-gcc-warnings’ to suppress GCC’s warnings, and ‘–enable-gcc-warnings’ to stop the build if GCC issues warnings.
What’s the latest version of libgnutls for Emacs?
By default libgnutls is now required when building Emacs. Use ‘configure –with-gnutls=no’ to build even when GnuTLS is missing. GnuTLS version 2.12.2 or later is now required, instead of merely version 2.6.6 or later.
Is it possible to do movement editing in Emacs?
If you can master movement and editing in Emacs, you have effectively conquered two of the biggest productivity boosters available to you. Emacs has unrivaled movement and editing capabilities and aside from enabling Ido Mode, few other things in Emacs will, pound-for-pound, give you a bigger productivity boost.
What are the four movement keys in Emacs?
The four fundamental movement keys are C-n, for next logical line; C-p, for previous logical line; C-f for move forward by character; and C-b for move backward by character. I recommend adding this to your .emacs, as it makes C-n insert newlines if the point is at the end of the buffer.
Which is more effective moving forward or backward in Emacs?
Movement by s-expression is similar to movement by character and word, only the prefix is C-M-. So move forward is C-M-f and backward is C-M-b. Moving by s-expression will take a bit of getting used to, but you will quickly find that it is a more effective means of navigating source code than by word or character.
