Netscape does have them as well as the Gimp, and GNOME applications
(eg GMC) though I don't know if standardized.  ^F, ^B do help
usability, especially for those of us who touch type and never want to
leave the home row...  I'm sure you've heard all the arguments before.

The thing is, this already is a defacto standard on Unix, and breaking
it really doesn't help some people.
