Yes, but actually typing it is beyond the ability of most users: you have to read the presentation screen before hitting a key, and you have to guess that "C" means "the control key".

Sigh. The first (clickable!) item on the launch screen of the editor is "Emacs Tutorial". The first paragraph displayed in the tutorial after you select (with the mouse!) that item is contains:

C-<chr> means hold the CONTROL key while typing the character <chr> Thus, C-f would be: hold the CONTROL key and type f.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you that emacs is "easy" to learn (seriously: getting truly good at it will take months at least). But don't pretend that the documentation is hard to read. It's just documentation.

First, Oops.

Second, I didn't want to say that it was difficult, but that many people behave like morons.
