Your perception of what defines "Unix behavior" is skewed. You say you don't want to use the Emacs keybindings and then proceedd to say that the GNOME Emacs key bindings are the "standard Unix rules" and that GNOME should follow them. First of all, there is no such thing as "standard Unix keybindings" for these things. Beyond C-c, C-d and 3 to 4 others related to signals and process control *at a terminal*, Unix applications have used entirely different key combinations for these actions. I personally prefer using 'dd' as the keybinding to delete all text on a line, less stress on my pinky. And if you want to tell me that's not the "Unix standard", I'll tell you to take you Emacs using pansy ass back where you came from because vi is and always has been the standard Unix text editor. And I'd be just as wrong as you have been throughout this entire thread.
