i don't think i'll need elisp as i'm using emacs distribution

i want to learn basics elisp so that i can understand how to map keys how to send commands etc.

constructs that all beginners require

please don't send a 300 page pdf for elisp as i don't want to learn everything i just want a basic max 10 page rulebook for elisp

my teacher told me to use emacs and i love the experience so far thanks to the support from this community

i have not yet learned how to execute command like

menu-bar--display-line-numbers-mode-relative

i don't know how to

run tab-width command with and set it to 4 after using M-x to open dialogue box to run command

(i think it's called buffer not dialogue box)

so this is the level i'm at not much i know but i hope that emacs gods help me in finding true peace

It’s been a while since I’ve updated this page, but I had bookmarked a bunch of elisp things. https://xenodium.com/emacs-lisp-bookmarks

There should be some links there that qualify the requirements, examples:

https://github.com/abo-abo/elisp-guide

https://github.com/caiorss/Emacs-Elisp-Programming

Having said that, go to the built-in elisp manual to go deeper.
