Description Collin Starkweather 2002-11-12 20:10:06 UTC 
Package: Evolution
Priority: Normal
Version: 1.2.0
Synopsis: Emacs binding do not take
Bugzilla-Product: Evolution
Bugzilla-Component: Mailer

Description:
I set the key bindings in the composer setting to "Emacs" (love the
Emacs bindings, by the way!).

The first e-mail I generate after setting the bindings seems to edit per
the proper bindings, but subsequent e-mails do not.

When I check my settings, the "Emacs" setting is still present. 
However, the bindings are not Emacs; i.e., Ctrl-A, Ctrl-E, Ctrl-W do not
elicit the proper behavior.



Setting qa contact to the default for this product.
   This bug either had no qa contact or an invalid one.
Comment 1 Allan Third 2004-11-05 14:14:36 UTC 
Just wanted to add that I'm getting exactly this behaviour on Ubuntu
warty. 

${HOME}/.gtkrc-2.0 has gtk-key-theme-name = Emacs

Gconf: /GNOME/Documents/HTML_Editor/keybindings_theme = emacs
       /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme = Emacs

For gtkhtml3.2, I've made GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor-emacs.xml and
GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor.xml the same file (both equal to the -emacs one),
just to be sure.

After making these changes (specifically, I think, after editing
GNOME_GtkHTML_Editor.xml), I can compose exactly *one* email in
Evolution 2.0 using emacs keybindings; after that, it goes back to the
"standard" bindings.

Any more information I could provide, please let me know. 

Thanks.
