If you're using Safari, you can resize the textarea, search within it, scroll the textarea by mousing over it regardless of present field focus, and use emacs key combos like Ctrl-A, E, K, and Y without any additional software.

Ctrl + K is emacs? As far as I am aware it is available to every program on Unix through readline. See this wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_key#Examples http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_key#Examples

  It was originally an emacs binding. Then readline picked it up as part of its "emacs-style bindings". The name is not only cute, but also descriptive.

    It was originally the terminal escape sequence for kill to end of line (ESC k) which is what emacs used to emit when you typed Ctrl-k.

      Should be "ESC k was originally...", right?

By editing your ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict file you can set up a gigantic subset of emacs navigation keys (including almost-but-not-quite versions of C-k and C-y) in every Cocoa text widget on your computer, including Safari textareas. Do a search for DefaultKeyBinding.dict, or just start with mine: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5431919/DefaultKeyBinding.dict http://dl.dropbox.com/u/5431919/DefaultKeyBinding.dict
