Also, most emacs keybindings (C-u and C-w don't, but C-k, e, a and y do, at the very least) work in all Cocoa text fields. This (in general) means you have two copy buffers: the normal, system wide Cmd-C (or X), Cmd-V and the "Cocoa wide" C-k C-y buffer

The basic emacs shortcuts even work on iOS, if you're using a Bluetooth keyboard. Now the muscle memory works everywhere.

Right! Weirdly enough, C-k kills a word in (at least) the Editorial writing app in iOS7 (only writing app where I have tried since upgrading my iPad)

My favorite undocumented keybinding: C-t (transpose) for sloppy typers like me.

Didn't know C-t worked in Cocoa's. Thanks for pointing it out, always useful!
