I think they originated with the Emacs editor, though. Vi and some other Unix editors use different keys. You're right that they're implemented by readline.

Very convenient, since I have caps lock reassigned to Ctrl. I use the (badly located imo) command key much less now. BTW, I didn't realize those were "Emacs bindings" -- I thought they were simply Unix readline commands. (I'm a permanent noob with this stuff; both Emacs and Vim will always be mysteries to me) It's a pity though that other shortcuts that work in Terminal.app, like Ctrl-u and Ctrl-w, aren't supported like this in other apps.
