i don’t think i’ll need elisp as i’m using emacs distribution

i want to learn basics elisp so that i can understand how to map keys how to send commands etc.

constructs that all beginners require

please don’t send a 300 page pdf for elisp as i don’t want to learn everything i just want a basic max 10 page rulebook for elisp

​

my teacher told me to use emacs and i love the experience so far thanks to the support from this community

i have not yet learned how to execute command like

menu-bar–display-line-numbers-mode-relative

i don’t know how to

run tab-width command with and set it to 4 after using M-x to open dialogue box to run command

(i think it’s called buffer not dialogue box)

​

so this is the level i’m at not much i know but i hope that emacs gods help me in finding true peace

    I don’t about it’s page count, but the goto-place for your need seems to be the “Introdution to Programming in Emascs Lisp” which is reachable from emacs with C-h i m Emacs Lisp Intro

    It is structured nicely, so you should be able to find the relevant parts easily from the table of contents, you don’t have to read it all. None the less I would recommend to read as much as possible, because it’s very informative and (in my experience) well worth it.
