Which kind of supports my thesis. It’s not so much the underlying tech stack that matters, but the attention to platform conventions. I would expect text input on a Mac, for example, to support ctrl-a and ctrl-e shortcuts for beginning and end of the line (Microsoft is a gross offender on this front thanks to their wanting to accommodate Windows users on a Mac who will be used to using ctrl instead of cmd for keyboard shortcuts).
