Description Christian Marillat 2002-11-10 15:03:43 UTC 
Hi,

http://bugs.debian.org/168548

Despite opting for Emacs style shortcuts for text editing from
the Keyboard Shortcuts applet, all GNOME 2 applications
(e.g. galeon-snapshot & nautilus2) continue to only recognise the
GNOME Default (i.e. Win32) style shortcuts.
Comment 1 Andrew Sobala 2002-11-10 17:14:38 UTC 
Hi Christian,

What are the emacs shortcuts so I can test?
Comment 2 Christian Marillat 2002-11-10 17:25:19 UTC 
See /usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc
Comment 3 Andrew Sobala 2002-11-10 18:07:05 UTC 
Well, it works for me in HEAD (although some emacs bindings are caught
by the app as shortcuts, so it's probably not a very intelligent mode
to use anyway).
Comment 4 Andrew Lau 2002-11-25 12:03:37 UTC 
Hi everyone,
I'm the the guy who filed the original report under the Debian BTS, so
here's an example that fails for me. Try Ctrl-A in the Nautilus2
Location field. It selects all instead of going to start of line ala
Emacs mode. I just noticed that Ctrl-E (end of line works now).
Perhaps this bug should be retitled as "Emacs shortcut key mode is
inconsistent."

Thanks,
Andrew "Netsnipe" Lau

Retitling since I can't find any other instances

I can confirm this with current 2.2.x from CVS.
Comment 8 Andrew Lau 2003-07-15 15:08:31 UTC 
Let me also point out that Ctrl-Space selection marking Emacs style
(akin to holding down the Shift key in the default scheme) also fails.
But I guess implementing this is going to be A LOT harder.

This is gtk bug 95494 I think
Comment 10 Sebastien Bacher 2004-11-28 13:10:37 UTC 
as said in the previous comment that's a dup of #95494
