Not necessarily! To implement this in Emacs
only is as much a proper solution.

First, it happens that people move their work
to Emacs one application at a time until they
basically use Emacs all day long. This is
natural since they become more comfortable and
discover mor and more of it.

Second, it isn't wrong to implement the same
behavior at different places. Sometimes it
isn't possible to do it system-wide and
sometimes, even tho it is possible in theory,
doing it at two places is much simpler and
a quick, well-known fix.

An example is precisely the keys. I know how to
set them up in Emacs, the Linux VTs (ttys or
the console), and in X, and way back, tho
I have forgot how I did it, I managed to get
Emacs-like cursor movement in zsh.

But how do I set them up at one place so they
act the same way everywhere? And is that
even desirable?
