In praise of the Emacs key bindings

I'm a big Emacs fan and user, and Bash also; maybe because of laziness, or simply because "it works" for all my needs, since it came default on the Linux boxes I started, and then, installing Emacs is one of the first things I do, when I have to configure a Linux box at work, not to mention, one of my own.

One thing I have always loved about Emacs, from day one, is the Emacs key bindings, I feel them to be quite natural, really useful ones; don't know how to tell it, but I believe I type better while on Emacs.

While doing some research on getting the Emacs key bindings globally for Gnome, I found a couple of links that are really interesting, particularly on the history or implementation of those key bindings.
