- happysadpanda2 6mo agoAren't they actually readline keystrokes, and emacs is "readline-aware"?
- bandrami 6mo agoI'm pretty sure the navigation shortcuts date back to when Emacs was literally just a set of TECO macros, and GNU Readline adopted them
- kstrauser 6mo agoYep. Readline’s modeled after what Emacs was already doing.
