Good Morning!

Morning.

So today’s revelation… Emac’s basic forwards / backwards / up / down keybinding’s work generally in MacOS 🤯

In the terminal, or on all applications?

👋

Many apps like textedit.

interesting! thanks for the tip!

One nice thing on macos is ctrl-a for beginning of line and super-a for select all. Usually ctrl-a is one or the other, and you can’t get both.

Yeah, I i’ve been faffing with keyboards and was accidentally navigating like in emacs and then noticed I wasn’t in Emacs. It seems a general MacOS set of shortcuts, it also works in safari textareas.

(I have failed to learn what command and option are, so real mac users will have to translate)

Oh yeah, Ctrl-a/e work. I know Torvalds (used?) to use a Mac, I wonder whether Stallman did too and his influence brushed of on the MacOS engineers 😆

I have work supplied Mac MBP M1. I don't use it much. I'm an Arch Linux fanboi through and through.

emacs keybindings have worked forever in macos - even things like <ctrl>-k and <ctrl>-y
