GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 317801
Keyboard Shortcuts doesn't include Text Editing Shortcuts

This bug has been opened here: http://bugzilla.ubuntu.com/show_bug.cgi?id=16876 "In Breezy Colony 5 [-and- in Hoary, btw...] I'm trying to change my text editing shortcuts to Emacs. If I go to System -> Preferences -> Keyboard Shortcuts and then collapse all categories, I'm only left with 3: Desktop, Sound, and Window Management. Yet if I click on Help there, the frame that pops up quite clearly has a table mentioning the nonexistent Text Editing Shortcuts. I don't know if this is a documentation bug or a program bug (or both), but it's persisted at least since Hoary. Some searching has also revealed other people in other distributions complaining about this being missing. What's more, I'm unsure how I'm actually supposed to do this even without the GUI. Searching the web has revealed setting gtk-key-theme-name in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 (which presumably would be seen by Gnome 2.x), but I also see conflicting pages claiming that this is deprecated (and, in fact, ignored!) and that one should now be using the "gnome-keybindings-properties" dialog in gconf-editors. However, I can't see a way to launch gconf-editors from any toolbar, and expecting any non-expert user to know about this program and launch it from the command line seems like we're expecting them to do lots of websearching first to even find it (since the UI doesn't make it available). So what's the -right- way for me to do this, and what's going on with the (apparently long-standing) inconsistency between the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog and its self-documentation?"
The documentation being out of date is covered by Bug 329073. Would you like me to close this bug as a duplicate, or move it to Keyboard Shortcuts application?
