    <p>I don't recommend starting out with ErgoEmacs.</p> <p>I'd recommend starting out with vanilla Emacs. Give that a try to see if you like it. There has been a fair amount of thought put into the bindings, and the <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2677300/learning-emacs-useful-mnemonics/2679400#2679400">default ones are self-consistent and they behave consistently across the major modes</a>. If you find that you are really unhappy with some bindings, then change them - either by loading features you find you like (ErgoEmacs, CUA mode, (shudder) Viper).</p> <p>The way you become the most productive with it is to customize it to fit your needs. That can only come with time. I've used Emacs for 17 years now and am still customizing it to improve my workflow. It is naive to think that you'll become most productive with Emacs (or any tool) by simply adopting something like ErgoEmacs.</p> <p>With respect to ErgoEmacs specifically, the key-bindings are probably easier for someone who has only used simple text editors or used editors with the mouse a lot. By overriding the <kbd>C-c</kbd> and <kbd><a href="http://www.gnu.org/s/emacs/manual/html_node/elisp/Prefix-Keys.html" rel="nofollow noreferrer">C-x</a></kbd> prefix maps, you lose access to a ton of functionality that you might not otherwise learn or know about. Additionally, by moving away from standard Emacs terminology, ErgoEmacs sets you up to communicate poorly with others in the Emacs community.</p> <p>Also, by becoming comfortable with the default bindings for Emacs, you'll not find it as difficult to work in another person's environment when you have to.</p> <p>ErgoEmacs is one person's opinion on how to be most comfortable with Emacs, you're welcome to use it. I feel it would be rather limiting and confining if you have the goal of being more than a novice user of Emacs.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
