While, for a while I was using the emacs shortcuts in Apple's text object, I don't use my Mac enough for that to have stuck, and I find emacs itself intimidating, though I have great respect for the folks who can make the lifestyle commitment to use it (one programmer I knew launched it at the beginning of the day and never left it) --- gave away a copy of the emacs lisp programming book I received as a gift.
