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

I want to highlight that I think you should do the built in Lisp intro as recommended by /u/Gallipo.

Its fully interactive as you work through it and it's built into emacs. It's imo THE place to get started.

I also want to say good on you as a student getting into emacs. It's daunting at first but its a tool that will serve you for your entire career.
