Research direction
Start with the requested SSMS keyboard mappings and the registry path shown in the issue. Research whether SSMS supports exporting, importing, or persisting editor mappings and whether the listed Emacs bindings are available. Done means one clearly selected approach is implemented or documented with the requested mappings retained across sessions.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
SSMS editor is very hard to navigate. Can we SAVE the users Keyboard mappings for editing?
OR, just create simple EMACS mappings
Emacs Key | Behavior | SSMS Command Name | Practical Binding
-------------+---------------------------+--------------------------------+-------------------
C-a | Beginning of line | Edit.LineStart | Ctrl+A
C-e | End of line (Emacs style) | Edit.EmacsLineEnd | Ctrl+W (since Ctrl+E is blocked)
C-k | Kill to end of line | Edit.BriefLineDeleteToEnd | Ctrl+K
C-s | Search forward (prompt) | Edit.Find | Ctrl+S (F3 to search using previous search)
C-r | Search backward | Edit.FindPrevious | Ctrl+R
C-/ | Undo | Edit.Undo | Ctrl+/
C-? | Redo | Edit.Redo | Ctrl+Shift+/
C-n | Next line | Edit.EmacsLineDown | Ctrl+N
C-p | Previous line | Edit.EmacsLineUp | Ctrl+P
C-f | Forward char | Edit.CharRight | Ctrl+F
C-b | Backward char | Edit.CharLeft | Ctrl+B (after unbinding Bookmark)
OR load / store them in Registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\SQL Server Management Studio\21.0_IsoShell\Keyboard]
"Edit.LineStart"="Ctrl+A"
"Edit.EmacsLineEnd"="Ctrl+W" --- Ctrl-E would be better but that can't be used even with Keyboard Mappings
"Edit.BriefLineDeleteToEnd"="Ctrl+K"
"Edit.Find"="Ctrl+S"
"Edit.FindPrevious"="Ctrl+R"
"Edit.Undo"="Ctrl+/"
"Edit.Redo"="Ctrl+Shift+/"
"Edit.EmacsLineDown"="Ctrl+N"
"Edit.EmacsLineUp"="Ctrl+P"
"Edit.CharRight"="Ctrl+F"
"Edit.CharLeft"="Ctrl+B"
PLEASE.
