Slightly realted, I like the fact that rarely I accidentally type complex keystrokes like say C-x C-e C-m, triggering an undesired action. #genius

I pretty much always accidentally type the Emacs commands first, often in MS Word this means I delete everything then save, rather than just saving, and I end up saving a lot of webpages.

Sure. And C-w being `close window or tab` in many GUI I often `cut` my windows away to heaven.

Also I dream of GUI textfields with emacs keybindings. I can't fathom Ctrl-$arrow in Windows for instance. I need my home row.

Get a Macintosh. Emacs key bindings are ubiquitous.

I already felt Apple GUIs had something special and I didn't even knew this fact.
