If you already know Vim keybindings, it is very easy to get into Emacs with evil-mode.[1]

Besides that, Emacs by default comes with a menu system that helps you discover keybindings, too. And there is also cua-mode which I haven’t tried.[2]

I use cua-mode with a few key bindings and mouse modifications of my own to make it work the way I want. Its pretty easy jumping between windows apps and emacs for me
