I've been using my own XKB keymap and hotkeys based on Ergoemacs that lets me use some other Emacs-style shortcuts like "kill-word" everywhere as well. It's great to be able to have at least somewhat efficient text editing no matter the program.
Relative newcomer to the world of computers independently re-invents keyboard mappings that allow similar control as is provided by the 38 year old WordStar control key combinations for text editing purposes.
