For years I waited for FireFox to get some of the most basic Emacs keybindings. My favorite was CTRL+A which would take you to the beginning of the location bar, or where ever you happened to be editing text. Very handy. I just upgraded and POOF!... it was gone. I'll make some noise to the developers and try to get this fixed ASAP. Wish me luck.
UPDATE: Sorry, I must be going crazy. Looks like this was the case of my system getting temporarily borked. The strange thing is that I verified this with a coworker who said he noticed it too. But maybe he didn't actaully try it. Anyway... I'm glad this was my mistake and not the fault of Firefox.
vi ftw
@atmos: Oh yeah brother, I’m with you for ALL my development work—Vim rocks. I couldn’t live without it but I use emacs keybindings in Bash, and just about every app in OS X. I wouldn’t have thought I could get used to two systems but it’s working out pretty well. I actually used to use emacs as my editor, but it’s been a while. Last time I tried to edit in emacs, it took me 5 minutes of fumbling to save and quit out of the file. :)
Same as Rob. I use emacs shortcuts everywhere I can and it irks me when people step all over them.
Some forums use ctrl+p for post so if I want to go up one line and fix something I accidentally post! And in the TextMate Rails bundle, I think ctrl+p is mapped to param[:id].
I just can’t believe that people actually use the arrow keys, I mean, c’mon.
