Running Sid (and KDE), it seems that I cannot get GTK key theme "Emacs" to work.
I used to have a file .gtkrc-3.0 with the line: gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs" which gave me Emacs style key bindings on applications like Firefox. It stopped working recently, as apparently a new version of GTK came in (3.20 I think). Googling around, it seemed like the configuration file now has to be on .config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini. So, I've added the line above to this new configuration file. I thought it worked for a while (maybe I'm mistaken , though), but it is not working now. (I have now both files with the key theme line.) The closest I've come to a solution was these threads: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1269058 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=766166 I've tried making a file (as in the second thread) for the usual key bindings named .config/gtk-3.0/gtk.css with the content ----------------- @binding-set text-entry { bind "<Control>a" { "move-cursor" (paragraph-ends, -1, 0) }; bind "<Control>e" { "move-cursor" (paragraph-ends, 1, 0) }; bind "<Control>k" { "delete-from-cursor" (paragraph-ends, 1) }; bind "<Control>u" { "move-cursor" (paragraph-ends, -1, 0) "delete-from-cursor" (paragraph-ends, 1) }; bind "<Control>w" { "delete-from-cursor" (word-ends, -1) }; } entry { -gtk-key-bindings: text-entry; } textview { -gtk-key-bindings: text-entry; } ----------------- but also did not work. (I also tried adding the content above directly on settings.ini, but did not work either.) I'm at a loss. Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Luis
