What type of documents are you typing?

"emacs" seems to me that it is used for mainframe programming editors, 
not word processors.  I could be wrong about that, if there is a 
specific word processor that uses the "emacs" key shortcuts withing 
their control/navigation system.  It has been many years since I used an 
editor that used those [or vi/vim] commands.  When I do the editing for 
programming, I use Kate or gedit for Linux and NoteTab++ for Windows.  I 
find they are much easier to use than the original text/program editors 
that used vi/vim/emacs editing controls instead of mouse/menu controls.  
Well I got spoiled after all those years on a dumb terminal or typing 
punch cards.  I prefer a "window" environment like GNOME2 gives you over 
Terminal use that works a lot like what I had to do with the mainframes 
I worked on.  Well Win XP/pro is nice as well, if I have to use a 
non-Linux system.

So the question is what you are doing for the typing?

I know that if you have had years worth of finger-memory for using the 
keyboard shortcuts, that is is hard to get use to using the mouse/menu 
option and the word processor's internal shortcuts like Ctrl-Alt-f to 
open the Find/Replace option[s] or  Ctrl-A for select all.  I do not 
remember these shortcuts much.  Each package seems to have their own 
definations beyond Ctrl-x, -c, and -v.  Some change Ctrl-c and -z as well.
