I'm able to reproduce your ctrl-a/ctrl-e/ctrl-k results in Safari,
Mail, and TextEdit (I haven't made a habit of using any of those, so I
hadn't noticed.).  For comparison, I get the "beginning/end-of-line"
results I expect as an Emacs user in Opera and Firefox, but ctrl-b is
"bold" instead of "prevous character."  Would it be possible to set
this as a preference with the standard Safari/TextEdit/Mail/WebKit
behavior as the default?  As someone who has the emacs key engrained
in his psyche, this would be a great improvement.

And yes, I meant ctrl-k.  Sorry.
