My 'Ctrl-A' and 'Ctrl-E' work just fine (ctrl mapped

Not for me. Under F35 Mate:
emacs Ctrl-A beginning of line
bash Ctrl-A beginning of line
firefox Ctrl-A select all
Mac OS:
emacs Ctrl-A beginning of line
bash Ctrl-A beginning of line
firefox Ctrl-A beginning of line
The Linux keybindings are not consistent and thus do not work fine,
for my definition of fine.
For the command (or super) key, I want the follow global bindings:
command-A select all
command-C copy
command-P print
command-Q quit
etc.
Most of these are bound to the control key in Linux GUI applications.
This is annoying since in my brain the control key is bound to the
emacs-like functions.
