>What about things I know how to do in every app I ever use: Cut, Copy, Paste, Find, Find Next, Replace, Load, Save, Print, New Document, Undo, Redo.

And variants of course

* Cut - d

* Copy - y

* Paste - p

* Find - /

* Find next - n

* Replace - s///

* Load - e

* Save - w

* New Document - e

* Undo - u

* Redo - Ctrl + r

I'd call those pretty standard.



You would call those standard? What other applications use those?


They've been standards in Unix before Microsoft existed.


GGP said that those functions come standard in other applications. These functions do come standard.

FWIW, ed uses a lot of those.


And, as we all know, "ed is the standard editor". QED!
