Description Satya 2003-02-10 04:07:03 UTC 
Prior to Galeon version 1.3, user key bindings were used instead of menu accelerators. For examples, with gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs", Ctrl-A move to the beginning of line. However, 1.3 onwards, Ctrl-A does select all, while key-bindings not used by menu accelerators work fine.

It would be nice, if galeon didn't override user prefernces.

I don't know if this has been reported earlier or has been discussed on mailing lists (my search for this in bug database as well as mailing lists failed). If it has been, I am sorry for the duplicate submission.

Thanks
Satya

I get this too, and I must say, it's the thing that bugs me most about
the GTK2 version of Galeon.
Comment 2 sylvain_pasche 2003-03-03 11:02:39 UTC 
This is a temporary hack to prevent crtl-a being bound to "select all"

in the file $prefix/share/gnome-2.0/ui/galeon-ui.xml, look for a line
like the one below:
	
	<cmd name="EditSelectAll" _label="Select All" _tip="Select the entire
document"
	_accel="*Control*A"/> 

There, you can remove the attribute _accel="*Control*A", or rename it
to something else (sample new line:)

	<cmd name="EditSelectAll" _label="Select All" _tip="Select the entire
document" />

I know this is not a way to resolve this bug, only an ugly hack, but
at least it removes this big annoyance for the moment.
