I first learned about shell shortcuts from an emacs user, and I briefly 
considered picking up emacs... Then I found out I could enable vi 
keybinding in my shell and squashed that impulse. :)

The only emacs keybindings I still use in the shell are ^R for searching 
my history, ^W for deleting words, and occasional use of ^K for killing 
text to EOL.  Other than ^R, I swap between the vi and emacs bindings 
for those others, just depending on where my cursor is on the line.
