Huh, weird. I just checked this out on my Linux laptop and selecting the Emacs keybindings (Tools → Preferences → Shortcuts → Bind file) gives me the Ctrl-a/Ctrl-e behavior noted inside an ERT frame. > Ctrl-a alone seems to do nothing except display "^a options" on the status > bar at the bottom.

(I had to go into the Shortcuts and explicitly assign the functions in question to Ctrl-<key> characters instead of Cmd-<key> to get Emacs bindings to work correctly.) I suspect there was a more global way to do this in one fell swoop, but I couldn't figure out any other way to do it; and it works. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ But if all you want is some keystroke to get the cursor movement you want, you can just use the Cmd-<key> bindings noted. -chris
