Ironically, I think C-a for beginning-of-line is one of the
best and easiest-to-remember bindings of all time.

Not only is `A' the first letter of the alphabet, which
would make a perfectly adequate mnemonic, but the `A' key is
actually located physically at the beginning of the keyboard
(on both Dvorak and QWERTY!).

In my experience, this "spatial mnemonic" enables you to
wire the C-a binding really deep into muscle memory.  YMMV.
