Throughout the tutorial we will use, for keybindings, a syntax very akin to the GNU Emacs conventions for the same thing—so C-x means “hold down the control key and then press the x key”. One exception is that in our case M will not necessarily mean Alt (also called Meta), but “your modifier key”; this is Alt by default, although many people map it to Super instead (I will show you how to do this below).
In this case, I use the Super key.
