She's lost control

There is something wrong with the world. In my day-job, I regularly use two different IDEs: Visual Studio and Eclipse. Because I'm like that, I have Eclipse set up to use Emacs as its text editor.

So, I'm regularly switching between environments with different key-bindings. In one IDE, I can sort out the indentation on code by hitting Ctrl-I. In the other, it's Ctrl-K Ctrl-F.

Here's the weird bit: Ctrl-K Ctrl-F is Visual Studio.

To anyone who has no idea what I'm talking about, the correct response is "wow, that's quite surprising, you'd expect it to be the other way round". If you want to make a more oblique comment, you could say http://xkcd.com/378/.

I'd be more impressed if to save and exit in any microsoft product esc:x! worked. The number of times I've put that at the bottom of documents (in emails it's esc:x!sy) and not noticed until gone for review is... well, it's greater than null, anyway.

I do find it slightly consoling that '/' lets you search for a string in Firefox. Though it'd be better if it let you do it more than once...
