|
|
I am told there is a way to enable emacs keybindings in gnome by using the "keyboard shortcuts" program which is under the "desktop preferences" menu. I have seen on a debian system where there is a checkbox for this, but on mine there isn't. I put emacs as a use flag, and tried to recompile gnome, but it didn't seem to make a difference. Does anyone else have this box, if so, can you post your use flags, or maybe give me some clues.
Thanks. |

I tried this and I may have done something wrong, but the emacs shortcuts don't work, and there is no check box in the keyboard shortcuts menu. What do I need to do for this to take effect? I restarted my x session, and it did not.
Thanks. |

It doesn't work in all applications (gedit) but it does work in some (firefox, gaim, etc). |

gnome-2.8.3-r1, mozilla-firebird-1.0.4, mozilla-thunderbird=1.0.2:
NOTHING works!
I've tried everything I could find here, including .gtkrc.mine, .gtkrc-2.0, gconf-editor, .....
Does anyone have emacs keybindings in firefox/thunderbird? |
