In VS 2005, we introduced Emacs and Brief emulations into the editor.  Go to Tools – Options – Environment – Keyboard, and then drop down the Apply the following additional keyboard mapping scheme:  Choose either Brief or Emacs.

There’s nothing like learning 3 sets of keyboard shortcuts for basic editor navigation and code editing.  Fortunately, I had used emacs back in college, so the emacs keybindings came back very quickly.  It was a very interesting year of testing for me.  =)
