Connecting the two, having emacs-like text navigation shortcuts work in any halfway-native text input or field, on Mac, now feels so right to me that any platform without that feature seems flat-out wrong.

It's pretty cool. It's even cooler in applications with working[0] Cocoa text widgets, where you can do things like M-u and M-l for upcase/downcase word, transpose, and even an Emacs-like kill-ring[1].

[0]: Unfortunately in most third party web browsers and Electron apps (Chrome, Firefox, Slack, etc) most of these shortcuts don't work for some reason.
