ok so, riddle me this, nerds: emacs, out of the box, supports all of the normal default OS text-editing shortcuts you might expect - arrow keys, pgup, pgdn, home, end, alt-arrow for navigating by word, shift-arrow for selection, cmd-c / cmd-v for copy / paste, cmd-z for undo. (I am trying it on my work Mac.)
After all that effort to make emacs fit into your normal environment, why on Earth does the built-in tutorial teach you to use ctrl-pn/bf for navigation? Who is this helping??
@SpindleyQ It might matter what you learn first, because if you learn only a suboptimal way to do things then you might find it annoying to try to unlearn it later. For example, I still haven't learned to use all the variants of word-based motion in vim and instead use weird things like "wh".
That said, I expect that a prompt "what you just did can be also accomplished by <foo>" might be better at combating that.
