You can further Emacsify or customize text controls to your heart with a `DefaultKeyBinding.dict` file.

This what I've been using for ~8 years. Apple removed a few functions here and there but still plenty are available. Reference URL in the file comments.

    {
        /* Additional Emacs bindings:
         *
         * "<key combination>" = "functionName:";
         *
         * Key Modifiers:
         *   ^: ctrl
         *   ~: option
         *   $: shift
         *   @: command
         *
         * Instance Methods of "NSStandardKeyBindingResponding":

         *
         * Install under ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict
         *
         * Download directly:
