• In this tutorial you will learn how to use Newbiemacs.
• You can use the basic features of Newbiemacs in the following Newbiemacs screen. (To go to the Newbiemacs screen, type ALT-BACKSPACE, or Command-BACKSPACE in macOS.)

• By default your Newbiemacs folder will be ~/newbiemacs (~ means your home folder.)
• The current file name is shown at the bottom of the Newbiemacs screen.
• Type F in the Newbiemacs screen to open the folder containing the current file.
• Newbiemacs provides three editing styles, Vim, Emacs, and Windows (default). To change the editing style, type e in the Newbiemacs screen.
• You can view the Newbiemacs cheat sheet by typing ? in the Newbiemacs screen.

• In this tutorial we learn how to manage pdf and tex files.
• The basic concept of managing files is to store these files in their directories and search them.
• The directories for these files are under the newbiemacs folder.
• To open the newbiemacs folder, type ALT-BACKSPACE (or Command-BACKSPACE in macOS) twice and then type F
• The pdf and tex files will be stored in the pdf and tex folders under the newbiemacs folder.
• You may manually move your files into one of these folders.

• Finding a file is very easy.
• Type p or t in the Newbiemacs screen to find a pdf or tex file.
• Type anything that you can remember about the file name.
• It will list all files with the key words that you have entered there.
• Choose the file that you want to open and press the enter key.

• Note that it is important to have a good file name scheme so that we can search files easily.
• The following methods will do this effortelessly.

1. Type ALT-BACKSPACE twice and then type F

1. Type U in the Newbiemacs screen. (You may need to restart Emacs.)

1. Close Emacs and move the newbiemacs folder as you wish.
2. Open ~/nbm-root/nbm-home.txt (This is the file containing the path to the Newbiemacs folder.)
3. Update the old path with the new path.
4. Start Emacs.

Check the section on "Spell checking" in the Newbiemacs manual.

• Add the following line in your user-init.el and change the number 150 as you want. (To open user-init.el, type SPC N c u.)

  (set-face-attribute 'default nil :height 150)
  

You can re-installing Newbiemacs keeping your Newbiemacs folder ~/newbiemacs. It will take much less than the actual installation.

1. Delete the folder ~/nbm-root

2. (For macOS or GNU/Linux) Enter the following in a terminal.

   cd ~
   git clone https://github.com/jangsookim/newbiemacs.git nbm-root
   

3. (For Windows) Enter the following in Command Prompt.

   cd %userprofile%
   git clone https://github.com/jangsookim/newbiemacs.git nbm-root
   

1. Restart Newbiemacs.
2. If it's still not working, re-install Newbiemacs.

1. If there is a space in the path of your newbiemacs folder, you cannot compile bibtex.
2. It is strongly recommended that you change your newbiemacs folder so that it has no space.

3. If you need to use icloud, whose path is /Users/<username>/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~CloudDocs, you need to run the following in your terminal. (You have to change <username> with your actual username.)

   ln -s "/Users/<username>/Library/Mobile Documents" "/Users/<username>/Library/Mobile-Documents"
