An addition: you do not _have_ to do everything Emacs-way. Some of "Emacs way" is obsolete, some of it is different from mainstream due to technical limitations of bygone ages or due to the effects of path dependence. Try everything, but feel free to discard things that don't improve your workflow. For example, I have Command-O bound to "open file" and Command-S bound to "save file", because I don't want to remember another set of obscure hotkeys. I have Command-T for "open me a new blank file", because that's browsers' hotkey. I use Control-[FBNP] and derivatives because they also work in shells and in majority of edit fields in mac OS. Otherwise I would probably stick to cursor keys.
