Reading through the archives, I saw this request for a list of emacs key 
bindings.  Since no reply was posted, here is my list.  I'll note that 
after years of use, the hardest thing was trying to figure out what my 
fingers do.  This list is almost certainly incomplete because of that.

C-a		move-beginning-of-line
C-e		move-end-of-line

C-b		backward-char
C-f		forward-char

M-b		backward-word
M-f		forward-word

C-n		next-line
C-p		previous-line

C-l		recenter
C-v		scroll-up
M-v		scroll-down

C-d		delete-char
M-d		kill-word
M-DEL		backward-kill-word
C-k		kill-line
C-y		yank
C-w		kill-region

C-s		isearch-forward
C-r		isearch-backward

M-/		dabbrev-expand
M-SPC		just-one-space
M-q		fill-paragraph
C-c C-c		comment-region

M-c		capitalize-word
M-l		downcase-word
M-u		upcase-word

C-t		transpose-chars
M-t		transpose-words

I could get used to different keys for the following, as long as the 
functionality is available from the keyboard.

C-x 0		delete-window
C-x 1		delete-other-windows
C-x o		other-window
C-x b		switch-to-buffer
C-x 4 b		switch-to-buffer-other-window

C-x (		kmacro-start-macro
C-x )		kmacro-end-macro
C-x e		kmacro-end-and-call-macro
