The Notes widget is using many keystrokes for text operations and
insertion-point-moving operations. Control-A for example means "move insertion
point to start". Control-H deletes a character.

This is the same problem we used to have with the location bar. We fixed it in
the location bar by making NautilusEntry override GtkEntry to not use all those
keyboard equivalents. Now we have people angry with us for not letting them use
their favorite emacs shortcuts in the location bar (see bug 46495).

I've heard this will be addressed in GTK 2.0 by having the menu key bindings
override the widget-specific ones. But in the meantime, or if that doesn't end
up happening, we need to figure out what we want to do here and in NautilusEntry
fields -- we should address this bug and bug 46495 in the same way.

oops, my fault, yes, Ctl-A/E/B/F act like emacs keybindings. Change the summary
to "Nautilus keybinds not work in sidebar notes panel".

Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.

This is fixed in 2.1.2. CTRL-A selects all files in the window.
