For example, you can start a section by typing \section[return] or you get α1 by typing $\alpha_1$. Note that there are even shorter ways provided, for example $a[tab]$ gives you an alpha as well, so you might want to migrate after a while. Styles like article, book or seminar, as known from LaTeX, are provided as well. Furthermore, many Emacs shortcuts like C-x C-s for saving a file, or C-_ for undo will work.

Can I learn to do it on my own?
Questions about lower blood pressure with breathing and musi...Yes, it is possible to learn slow breathing on your own, and you will gradually assimilate with Breatheasy. People have actually been doing this for years under the name of biofeedback. Unfortunately, biofeedback is difficult and time-consuming to learn, which is why it has never gained widespread use. Slow breathing is also very difficult to learn unaided because it's only effective when done in a very relaxed state with minimal conscious effort.

Is there Emacs support for R?
R FAQThere is an Emacs package called ESS (“Emacs Speaks Statistics”) which provides a standard interface between statistical programs and statistical processes. It is intended to provide assistance for interactive statistical programming and data analysis. Languages supported include: S dialects (R, S 3/4, and S-Plus 3.x/4.x/5.x/6.x/7.x), LispStat dialects (XLispStat, ViSta), SAS, Stata, and BUGS. ESS grew out of the need for bug fixes and extensions to S-mode 4.
Related QuestionsShould I run R from within Emacs?
R FAQYes, definitely. Inferior R mode provides a readline/history mechanism, object name completion, and syntax-based highlighting of the interaction buffer using Font Lock mode, as well as a very convenient interface to the R help system. Of course, it also integrates nicely with the mechanisms for editing R source using Emacs. One can write code in one Emacs buffer and send whole or parts of it for execution to R; this is helpful for both data analysis and programming.
Related QuestionsWhy does zsh not work in an Emacs shell mode any more?
Z-Shell Frequently-Asked QuestionsEmacs 19.29 or thereabouts stopped using a terminal type of "emacs" in shell buffers, and instead sets it to "dumb". Zsh only kicks in its special I'm-inside-emacs initialization when the terminal type is "emacs". Probably the most reliable way of dealing with this is to look for the environment variable $EMACS, which is set to t in Emacs' shell mode. Putting [[ $EMACS = t ]] && unsetopt zle in your .zshrc should be sufficient.
Related QuestionsWhat is an experienced Emacs user?
Frequently Asked Questions: AppendicesYes, when you use Emacs, you are apt to use the control key, the shift key and the meta key a lot. This is very annoying to some people (notably vile users), and the rest of us just love the hell out of it. Just give up and submit. Emacs really does stand for "Escape-Meta-Alt-Control-Shift", and not "Editing Macros", as you may have heard from other disreputable sources (like the Emacs author).

Related QuestionsWhere do I put my .emacs, (or _emacs), file?
GNU Emacs FAQ for WindowsYour startup file can be named either _emacs or .emacs, and should be placed in your "home" directory. If you have both files in your home directory, Emacs will load the .emacs file and ignore _emacs. Your home directory is where the HOME configuration variable tells Emacs it is.
