C-S-f Send Ctrl-f (e.g., to trigger a 'Find' dialog)

Basic Emacs key bindings are supported for the following programs:

  • Notepad
  • FreeCommander XE
  • Cmd and PowerShell
  • P4V
  • Firefox address bar
  • Office Communicator / Skype
  • MusicBee
  • Visual Studio and R#
  • PyCharm
  • Outlook email editor
  • Word dialogs (Emacs key bindings for Word are available through VBacs

It should be fairly straightforward to add support to other programs. Feel free to contribute.
