TIL from this talk: https://youtu.be/ajfb5LSbQVM that all the control keys that we still use today have a corresponding encoding in ASCII: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Control_character#In_ASCII and that the control-keys were designed to emit those characters. i kind of implicitly knew that, but never made the direct connection, especially that it was ASCII that defined which control key would be assigned to which control character.
