Description | Use the emacsKeyBindings property if you're familiar with Emacs and prefer to use its standard keystrokes for text editing. Emacs is a text editor which is popular among Unix users. It uses keystrokes and key combinations different from the standard LiveCode keys. For example: * Control-V moves the insertion point down a page * Control-Y pastes the contents of the clipboard * Control-A moves the insertion point to the beginning of the line * Control-F moves the insertion point forward one character * Delete backspaces over the previous character (For a complete list of supported key bindings, see the Emacs Key Bindings Reference.)
