More Emacs editing and movement commands
Editora’s Emacs keymap got a lot closer to a standard global-map. A batch of
editing and movement commands landed, all palette-discoverable and rebindable
like any other command.
Text surgery:
- backward-kill-word (
M-DEL) - case commands upcase / downcase / capitalize-word (
M-u/M-l/M-c) and upcase / downcase-region (C-x C-u/C-x C-l) - join-line (
M-^), delete-horizontal-space (M-\), just-one-space (M-SPC), delete-blank-lines (C-x C-o), open-line (C-o), kill-whole-line (C-S-DEL), and zap-to-char (M-z)
Navigation:
- forward / backward-sexp (
C-M-f/C-M-b), mark-sexp (C-M-SPC), kill-sexp (C-M-k) - beginning / end-of-defun (
C-M-a/C-M-e), mark-paragraph (M-h), mark-whole-buffer (C-x h), and move-to-window-line (M-r)
A kill ring (yank-pop and consecutive-kill accumulation) is still deferred, so these “kill” commands delete, and cut/copy/paste keep using the system clipboard. See the keybindings reference for the full Emacs map.
Update (October 2026). The kill ring shipped in 0.9.10, so these commands now kill and yank as they do in Emacs.
