Not a troll, sorry to not be clear. I would think a lot of people would prefer the 6key cluster, but thats very possibly just my own bias.
I've honestly never heard of ctrl-a ctrl-e or alt-arrow keys to do those tasks. They certainly don't work on Windows Chrome or Sublime Text 2 in Windows so I've never used them in my daily routine.
- oblique63 14y agoI haven't used a chromebook personally, but: ctrl-a (home) ctrl-e (end) ctrl-n (next line) ctrl-p (previous line) ctrl-f (forward/right) ctrl-b (back/left) are all traditional Emacs key-bindings, and they're supported throughout all of OSX; it's one of the very few features I actually miss when I'm on other OSes...
- esrauch 14y agoHow does that interact with Ctrl+a being select all?
- oblique63 14y agoSince macs rely mostly on the 'command'/'apple' key for that stuff (instead of Ctrl), on OSX Select All is just cmd+a, like how Copy/Paste are cmd+c/cmd+v respectively, so it doesn't interfere. And on Emacs you start getting into multi-key combo finger dances for that (e.g. "Ctrl+x h" = highlight all), which OSX doesn't emulate for various reasons I'm sure...
- esrauch 14y agoI did an image search and it doesn't look like the chrome books have the extra meta/command/apple/super/windows key on them. Do they just not have a select all?
