This heavily depends on your keyboard layout. IMO, the worst decision a
developer of an editor can make is to base the keybindings on one
specific layout. For example, vi's hjkl-movement bindings are totally
awkward on my German Dvorak Type II keyboard. In contrast, emacs C-n,
C-f, C-b and C-p have mnemonics which are clear and independent from the
layout.
Similarly, C-k, C-y and M-y have clear mnemonics derived from the
concepts of killing and yanking.
