You might like http://www.ergoemacs.org/ Anyways there's probably tons of plugins that would change key bindings to something that you'd like more. Might also want to look into cua-mode.

Maybe you can tell us why you need it to work in a console. Do you only want to edit files over there? Could try sshfs. If you're able to use X11 on your servers you might look into X11 forwarding through ssh to use Sublime too.

Well, I'm using Windows on my primary machine when I'm at home, and Mac when I'm outside. It's not a secret that Windows is bad as a development environment. Even it's file system has issues in mapping to unix fs. So I prefer to keep all my development things on remote Linux machine, and work through the SSH. That's why I'm interesting in terminal-based editors.

I see. I tried using a remote server as my dev environment. Most of the time it ALMOST works. But there's so many edge cases where it gets annoying. It never really worked out. I'm on Windows too and I did manage to make it into a decent environment. Yes it does take time and effort. But I'm so so glad I did, it's really worth it.
