File a bug. This seems like the kind of thing that Apple would actually fix.

Or not.

OS X should be agnostic about the software running on it. If you fix it for Emacs, then it should also be fixed for vi users and nano users, etc. some of which are mutually exclusive.

The point is that all generic text fields on OSX have supported Emacs keybindings since forever, not vi or nano keybindings.

[throw_away]

though, this thread just makes me want vi bindings in os x text areas. I would settle for shell bindings that can change the cursor shape.

A company can fix a problem without sponsoring a product associated with the problem, just like a company can release a product for a competing platform.
