Remove Ctrl-K shortcut from GtkEntry
Last modified: 2015-10-05 18:47:05 UTC
Commit 423868b408e0997af9e9af6a3ae5bb1ff50a0965 causes a regression in Firefox that breaks the Ctrl-K to Search Box shortcut immediately after creating a new tab (which focuses the URL GtkEntry) or when you hit Ctrl-L (which also focuses the URL GtkEntry) and then realize you want to search and hit Ctrl-K. The Emacs key theme exists for Emacs weirdos who want Ctrl-K to delete to the end of the line, the default GTK key theme shouldn't inflict this damage on the rest of us. (And before you suggest I switch to the Ctrl-J synonym for Ctrl-K: that shortcut doesn't exist in the Windows version of Firefox and doesn't help the situation.)
I'm also affected by this, it breaks the cross-platform consistency of Firefox and is a regression (it worked fine before). I don't have the Emacs keybindings enabled.

Same here.
