Is there a good hotkey cheatsheet for using Latex in Emacs? A few minutes of googling didn't turn up anything.

1Which tex mode are you using? The basic one shipped with GNU emacs? Auctex? It matters.– dmckee --- ex-moderator kittenOct 15, 2009 at 13:55

1Also, you'll find more emacs and latex questions and answers on Stack Overflow: stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/latex stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/emacs– dmckee --- ex-moderator kittenOct 15, 2009 at 13:56

LaTeX questions should probably go to tex.stackexchange.com now. An emacs stackexchange is still much further away... area51.stackexchange.com/proposals/9013/…– SeamusAug 8, 2010 at 13:57

I don't think the TeX mode shipped with Emacs has a cheatsheet (or a 'Refcard' as they're often called in the Emacs world). The closest thing around for AucTeX is its fine manual (PDF here, the quickstart stuff begins on about p. 18). Also note, RefTeX, a full featured citation manager for your BibTeX database (docs here). My own favorite citation manager is the slimmer Ebib.
Another great Emacs-Latex tool is org-mode. It works as a mode for the efficient outlining, writing, and editing of documents in its own lightweight markup syntax. This can then be converted to a few different formats, including LaTeX. Many of us do our writing in org-mode (which does have a cheat sheet, here) and then convert it to LaTeX. Hard stuff may have to touched up by hand in LaTeX, but org gets the basics done nicely, and the 'basics' even do a pretty good job at things like tables, math, poetry, document structure, etc.
This one might be helpful. I used the US Letter PDF.
