They have been for a really long time. For example, VIP mode is from 1986 and a note for VI mode says its last revision was in 1987 for GNU Emacs 18.33. Wordstar mode is from 1991. CUA minor mode, which "provides a complete emulation of the standard CUA key bindings (Motif/Windows/Mac GUI)", is more recent. It is from 1997. -- Robert J.
