Another note about the Emacs bindings, it's always applications that are highly regarded by the technical community where these stop working, like Blender. It always makes me wonder if on Linux and Windows do folks just live without movement by word, and delete backwards word in file dialogs? Or are there just other bindings for those that work across the OS on Linux and Windows?

Thanks for the reply! I'll have to try this in Blender, I'd love it if someone could chime in similarly for Linux, I'm super curious about the bindings support on other platforms.

You're welcome. In fact I only discovered this recently myself, I have no idea how long it has been backeed into windows.

I don't know but I'm pretty sure it's been there since at least 2000

FYI, the reason they don't work on Blender is because Blender, presumably for cross-platform consistency, manually draws its entire UI as well as handles its own events. The OS has no involvement in the UI, except to provide system resources. Most applications use standard dialogs for things like opening files, that are implemented in a central system DLL, so the behavior is consistent system-wide, and any improvement MS makes to those dialogs is automatically applied to all applications that use them.
