Related anecdote: in Vim, ^W is the fairly useful 'delete previous word'. Pretty much everywhere else, it is 'destroy window'. This had led to many an issue.

- Wilduck 15y agoAlso related: In Emacs C-n is next line, which I would use to scroll through a small portion of the document. Most everywhere else it spawns a new window, so in Firefox I would want to scroll down 5 or 6 lines and end up with a bunch more windows open.
- technomancy 15y agoThis is why I've stopped using programs that don't have the decency to at least pretend to be Emacs.
- SkyMarshal 15y agoAlthough, if you learn Vim, there are Vim extensions for just about every program you might use - Firefox, Chrome, Eclipse, etc. I love being able control many programs with Vim's or Vim-like keybindings.
