readline

Not just Emacs, but anything that uses readline or similar libraries. Most shells for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_Readline https://github.com/chzyer/readline/blob/master/doc/shortcut....

I don't know if I'm an oddball but I'm switching all day long between Mac, Windows and Linux machines and I'd die if I had to use a different set of terminal shortcuts every time.

Are they actually frowned upon? I've been writing Go for a few years now and while I acknowledge there will be blind spots in my knowledge, this is still the first I've heard against using that language feature. In fact named returns appear all over the Go source code itself[0] and the Effective Go section on named returns[1] seems positive about their usage.

Which is particularly useful in IDEs like IntelliJ where you get the tooltip popup with the function parameters and returns. But frankly I find named returns just as useful when reading back old code on GitHub or even just in vi. I also notice I'm not
