The bug you're refering to seems to be strongly related to gtk emacs keybinding over gnome's.
I have never wanted emacs keybindings and I have never done anything to change the default keybindings. I have also discovered that Ctrl+w has the same effect as Ctrl+z (cancel last operation). As z and w are swapped like q and a in US versus Belgian mapping, this seems to me to be a problem in the way gtk or gnome manages the keybindings in regard of localisation and keyboard mapping. -- gedit and evolution doesn't obey gtk-key-theme https://launchpad.net/malone/bugs/30357 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
