Unless you're on the wrong terminal. (google "emacs fix backspace")
Besides, it's really a big deal that most applications in your system use one set of hotkeys, while bash and emacs use a totally different one.
- claudius 13y agoWhat other applications are there on a system but Bash and Emacs? :P Besides, you can tell GTK to use Emacs-y keybindings rather than the ‘standard’ C-v, C-x, C-c.

- jff 13y agoThe reason for Emacs using a different set of key bindings (C-u catches me all the damn time) is that Emacs had its genesis outside of Unix. Emacs keybindings and the endless crusade to force "info" as a "man" replacement all stem from RMS's sad devotion to an ancient religion (ITS).
