> I'm more comfortable with them emacs-style keys
Every user has its own preferred set of keys. That's the reason why the KDE Platform is very strong when it comes to configuring shortcuts. If you do not like the defaults, change them.
Most shortcuts can be configured globally (System Settings > Shortcuts and Gestures > Standard Keyboard Shortcuts), or per application (Settings menu > Configure Shortcuts). The Kate text editor, to mention an example, allows configuring the cursor movement keys to whatever you like.
If there is a specific bug, for example where an application does not respect the configuration or doesn't allow changing the defaults in the first place, please report the problem for each application separately.
Regarding default assignments, remember that when you are assigning shortcuts you cannot assume a particular keyboard layout. A Dvorak user might be highly confused why the "cursor movement" is assigned to, say, T,F,G,V keys, or H,J,K,L keys.
Most default shortcuts in KDE are chosen either because they are historically established (think X,C,V), or are mnemonics of simple English words, e.g. Ctrl+A means "select All", not "begin of line".
Many users however, never change their key bindings. Changing the defaults will confuse or even annoy any user that got accustomed to the current default bindings, so we usually do not change defaults without a strong justification.
With this in mind, I would like to close this entry as WONTFIX, in the hope that it won't discourage you to continue reporting issues or request enhancements, but keep it open to collect further opinions.
Heh see also Bug 225625. I actually think this might be reasonable to do at the plasma-integration level. >If you do not like the defaults, change them.
Please try changing them and report back and what specifically doesn't work to provide the setup you prefer.
