Description of problem: The ability to select emacs text editing shortcuts has been unfortunately removed from the Keyboard Shortcuts preferences. Bug #137410 claims that it is still settable using gconfd-editor. This is not the case. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gconf-editor-2.8.0-2 How reproducible: Open gconf-editor and look the the preference, not there. Actual results: none Expected results: Find and set emacs shortcuts Additional info:
Set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme to "Emacs"
This should be in the documentation. Probably in section 10.17 in place of the bit that says: Text editing shortcuts Select one of the following settings: GNOME Default: Use this setting for standard shortcut keys. Emacs: Use this setting for Emacs shortcut keys.
