Clear typed-in but not-yet-sent replies in iChat 3
I didn't even know emacs key bindings worked outside of...emacs.
Emacs-style key bindings

key bindings vs. accesskeys
Oh, I forgot to mention that accesskey support in Safari (et.al.) uses a "control-" character prefix that can annoyingly interfere with your preferred Emacs-style key bindings. A common example is to type control-p during text input on some forum and have it activate the accesskey for "preview post" instead of moving the input cursor to the previous line. And sometimes an accesskey can accidentally invoke the "submit post" function, which can be embarrassing (or worse) when you can't delete or edit such a post.

I want vi key bindings!
vi vs. emacs bindings
Using vi bindings in this context would require entering a mode so single characters would navigate instead of being inserted into the text, then exiting that mode when you're done. That quickly becomes more tedious than the simply adding a modifier key prefix like control or option to characters when you want emacs-style navigation. And emacs bindings are more like traditional Apple shortcuts than vi bindings will ever be. :-) |
