120	Emacs Keybindings	hashbangperl		"Currently the key blocker for me are the lack of support for emacs key bindings - any long term emacs user will have these hardcoded into their fingers and really stumble if having to use something else in a coding environment.

The commonest keys IME are as follows

Files/Documents/Windows :
* open - ctrl-x f
* close - ctrl-k (with confirmation - in a gui should be enter to confirm, escape to cancel)
* save - ctrl-x s
* save as - ctrl-x ctrl-w
* Add/Commit to vcs - ctrl-v v
* Switch to another (open) document - ctrl-b tab complete filename

Editing text :
* upper case next/this word - alt-u
* lower case next/this word - alt-l
* mark start of selected region - ctrl-space
* cut selected region - ctrl-w
* copy selection region - alt-w
* cut to end of line - ctrl-k
* paste - ctrl-y

Positioning curser :
* start of line - ctrl-a
* end of line - ctrl-e
* make current line middle of screen - ctrl-l

Search/Replace
* search - ctrl-s
* replace - alt-% (new string, enter, old string, enter - invoke replace popup would be a good start tho)
