How can I get Emacs style key bindings in Visual Studio? Is it available in Settings? Do I need a Plug-in?

A:
You can try the Emacs keyboard scheme (Tools->Options->Environment->Keyboard)

Note that you need Visual Studio 2005 and later for that.

Also, it is not available in Express editions.

It's available in the C# 2008 Express edition, at least as of 1 Mar 2010.

Seems like VS 2010 no longer supports Emacs key bindings: http://connect.microsoft.com/VisualStudio/feedback/details/465750/emacs-keyboard-mapping-scheme-not-working-in-visual-studio-2010-beta-1

Now VS2010 does with an add-in: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/visualstudio/archive/2010/09/01/emacs-emulation-extension-now-available.aspx

I used the Emacs keyboard scheme for a few days, but it quickly drove me crazy -- I couldn't rebind keys they way I was used to in Emacs (or couldn't find how to rebind quickly).
I should try XKeyMacs....

After posting that Emacs keybindings/emulation would no longer be available in Visual Studio 2010, Emacs Emulation is now available as a free extension for VS 2010.
