My 'Ctrl-A' and 'Ctrl-E' work just fine (ctrl mapped to capslock where the unix gods intended).. Alt is meta. What do you mean by "I wish there were a Linux desktop that did that and used the Command key the right way also."?
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.
