Build a better TEXT EDITOR!!!Build a better TEXT EDITOR!!!Posted Feb 5, 2004 0:29 UTC (Thu) by jonabbey (guest, #2736)In reply to: Build a better TEXT EDITOR!!! by tracyreed Parent article: Building A Better Browser (Forbes) What do you mean? Mozilla Firebird (and Mozilla before it) does support (modified) emacs keybindings in text area widgets. The control keys for cursor movement work the same in emacs. Ctrl-k deletes a line in the same way it does in emacs, though you can't do Ctrl-y to paste. The standard ctrl-x, ctrl-c, ctrl-v keys are kept for cut and paste, of course, and the alt key jumps to the menus, but.. it's close enough for a first approximation.

I,at least, move text around primarily with ctrl-k/ctrl-y, which results in me deleting everything I've written. When I'm done, I press ctrl-x ctrl-c, which then cuts whatever's selected and then might copy nothing over it. They really ought to make pressing esc twice erase all your text, too, to keep vi users happy.
Key bindings Posted Feb 5, 2004 4:01 UTC (Thu) by Ross (subscriber, #4065) [Link] I haven't tried Firebird but I have a few complaints about Mozilla.One thing I wish for is the ability to use ALT as the menu shortcut
