You're underplaying your hand, you know. Why leave out that cut, copy, and paste have keyboard shortcuts in Emacs that are used nowhere else, and can't be rebound to match muscle memory in any way that's really useful?

I mean - if you're going to ignore everything that makes Emacs great on your way to cavil about how it's different, why not go all out, right?

Try `C-w`, `C-k` and `C-y` inside a Bash shell sometime, you might be surprised.

`M-w` is an exception, though.

Oh, interesting. I knew about C-s and C-r there, and knew C-k as kill to end of line, but didn't know yank worked there too - thanks for the tip!
