I'm a heavy keyboard user (I use XEmacs on Linux at work all day). I've recently been very happy to switch from Windows to Apple on my main home computer. But I've had a lot of trouble trying to use the keyboard for handling text. It seems like part of the problem is that there isn't a consistent interface like there is under Windows. One main issue: how can I select all the text from the current point of the cursor to the end of the line? (shift-end on Windows) After that, how can I use the keyboard to reduce or increase the selection area (I can use shift up and down to do this on Windows) How about to highlight from the current cursor point to the beginning or end of a file? This is control-shift-home or end on Windows. I found a keystroke for this (something like option-shift-end), but I don't think it worked in all apps. Thanks!
