MacOS uses ctrl+a/ctrl+e EVERYWHERE (but it doesn't work well in Microsoft products, if it works at all).

I like my emacs line editing mode :D

This is one of my favorite things about macOS.

I love that control+a and command+a have different functions. I use control+k and control+a all the time while writing comments on websites, etc. Especially since I've been mapping caps-lock to control for more than a decade.

It also means you can use the usual cmd+c in a terminal window. That alone makes Macs my favorite console machine lol. I mean at least Linux has ctrl+shift+c too. Windows: shift+insert? REALLY?! WTF? lol. :D
