Neither do you, and neither do any of the Emacs developers. In Emacs, ergo-emacs-mode fixes a lot of this, but not all. Ctrl+left & right cursor keys moves a word at a time. Ctrl-P is print, not that that matters much any more. Ctrl-X is cut, Ctrl-V is paste, Ctrl-C is Copy. Alt-F opens the File menu, alt-E opens the Edit menu. Use the same UI and the same terminology for it as every graphical app in the world since before many current FOSS programmers were born, or GTFO. The UI is terrible and now, over 30 years since CUA imposed a necessary and very welcome degree of harmony and standardisation on text-mode UIs, I am not learning a another awful 1970s-style UI, no matter how much power it offers me. Quite so, and that essay is what made me try to learn Emacs.
