You've got emacs in my mozilla

C-a ; start of line
C-e ; end of line

This should not come as a huge surprise, since Mozilla is a
descendant of Netscape, early versions of which were written by
Jamie Zawinski, who is also well-known for his XEmacs work.

This was also in every Netscape I tried. Netscape comes with a file
Netscape.ad which contains some comments about how other useful Emacs
bindings can't be made to work with Motif.
Galeon also groks Emacs bindings, it seems. Good stuff :-)

The same is true for Opera on GNU/Linux. It is BTW true for many,
many, many applications on GNU/Linux.
This C-x, C-c, C-v stuff for killing and yanking, that some people
desire so much, is rather exotic.

Those have made their way into the KDE and its apps.
Its funny many ms windows users don't know about these bindings.
I didn't until I read the Petzold book ( the Emacs Lisp Manual of win32 programming)

And Gnome. And Mozilla. Why are they exotic, again? Every
application written recently seems to support them, and they're the
one place where Emacs is *not* followed (Emacs uses C-x and C-c as
prefix keys, and C-v is page down, for which most applications rely on
the PgDn key of the PC keyboard.)

yeah, lucky that some of them atleast support the C-a and C-e
properly..
wish they all allow us a way to rebind the keys.. so we can rebind
them to emacsish keys ..... but alas, most applications don't have
the forsight emacs has had for years... :)

What surprises me is that no enterprising Emacs hacker seems to have
crufted up a set of patches for the offensive^H^H^H^Hding programs to
fix such lossage.
Having been forced back into using Windos by my employment, I'd like
to see a similar set of patches or hacks for Windos to replace the
C-[cxv] bindings with the correct ones. I've been busily trying to
learn VB[A] to customize the applications in question, but so far my
efforts have not born fruit.

All Tk & gtk+ applications support the simple Emacs keybindings by
default, and obviously so does KDE obviously though I didn't know
that. Also they are used in bash, mutt and anything that uses readline
as it's form of input which includes the languages guile, python and
octave.
