These keybindings are about the worst possible ones for emacs users. 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.
