I like using shortcuts to navigate text. Ctrl-a to jump to the beginning. Ctrl-e to jump to the end. But on SN, Ctrl-e for some reason inserts backticks. Can this be changed?

Ctrl-w should work to delete one word. It currently does nothing.

Ctrl-b should back one character, but it inserts bold text. Ctrl-f works fine.

So all these are inconsistent. I am not going to list all of them, but if you ask AI for readline (Emacs-style) key bindings, you'll get the list.

I would love an option for Vim-style navigation as well, which you could enable in settings.

The point is this inconsistency really breaks the flow when writing posts because I usually insert several unintended formatting characters while actually trying to navigate, which I then need to undo using arrow keys and delete, because I know that these are going to do the job, but it feels not natural.

While I'm on the topic of writing posts, I also think that the compose tab should be called preview. I could not figure out the difference between it and write until I added some bold text.
