Some of it is https://xkcd.com/927/ all over. EMACS is so old that it couldn't use an existing standard because it predates them. Then CUA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_Common_User_Access) tried to set a standard but not everyone used it and it fell out of favor, and MacOS did its own thing, and we eventually got to a place where nobody has enough pull to set a standard so it's just a question of what convention(s) a given program decides to support (or not). Edit: Which is the big reason why I believe that every program should allow users to customize shortcuts completely and ideally ship with presets that do their best to conform to every standard/convention possible ("do you want to preload CUA, EMACS, or MacOS convention shortcuts?"). |
