Someone was asking about OS's and emacs...

Has anyone noticed that you get about 75% of the emacs key bindings  
in all of the text widgets on the Mac?  I think every control-X  
combination works.  The meta and shift cording keys do not work.

A lot of non-Apple Mac applications do not have this feature.

But Esc-<key> works. I use a few to capitalise, down- or up-case, or  
delete forth or back ...

That does not work for me from Mail or TextEdit.  Hmmm... I feel left  
out now.

You'd need to set up ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

                 <string>swapWithMark:</string>
         </dict>
</dict>
</plist>

Inside the DeveloperTools a nice utility is hid: Property List  
Editor.app; the keywords used above are described somewhere under  
Cocoa key bindings. Spotlight might find the document(s) with one of  
them.

You can edit these keybindings (including Meta and Shift, including
multi-keysstroke bindings) by editing
~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict.

Or use http://www.cocoabits.com/KeyBindingsEditor/

> A lot of non-Apple Mac applications do not have this feature.

All applications using the Cocoa-Libraries have this feature, Apple
and non-Apple.
