I use an Emacs version (have since 2006) which means that when I am in Safari entering text such things as Meta-C, Ctl-E, etc work the way I expect them to. (ESC is Meta in my version). Exceptions occur in browsers when sites override the defaults (Blackboard is one), but that would be the same if I had no Dictionary file. See http://www.hcs.harvard.edu/~jrus/site/cocoa-text.html for more information. To me Emacs bindings precede all the others because I began using Mince on C/PM and Emacs (on VMS) back in the early 1980s. Those were really the first editing programs I used extensively, so their bindings top all the others. rdr -- #!/usr/bin/perl map{print substr(x('-"B!?455!0TLO7\'Q/*0``'),($_=ord)>>4,1)x($_%16)}split &quot;&quot;,x(&#39;M`1＠C`3%!46%Q$H$3D0$2D1(BH;$2H0$5D2(3D1B!H0$8D1.1)H$1H0$8(a)1RA6`1B&#39;.
