  C-<chr>  means hold the CONTROL key while typing the character <chr>
           Thus, C-f would be: hold the CONTROL key and type f.
  M-<chr>  means hold the META or EDIT or ALT key down while typing <chr>.
-          If there is no META key or equivalent, type <ESC>, release it,
-          then type the character <chr>.  "<ESC>" stands for the
-          key labeled "ESC".
