<p><b>How do I enable Emacs-style keybindings in GTK+
applications?</b></p>
<!-- A26 -->
<p>By default, GTK+ uses Windows-like keyboard shortcuts
for command line editing. Many UNIX users are more
familiar or more comfortable with Emacs-style shortcuts.
For example, GTK+ uses Control+A to mean, "select all,"
where as Emacs uses Control+A to mean, "put cursor at
the beginning of line."</p>
<p>In order to use Emacs-style keybindings in GTK+
applications, edit <tt>~/.gtkrc-2.0</tt>, and add the
following:</p>
<pre>
gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"
</pre>
<p>If you are using the GNOME Desktop, however, this is
not sufficient. You must also change the GConf key
<tt>/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme</tt> to
"Emacs" using <b>Applications
&gt; System Tools &gt; Configuration Editor</b>
(<tt>gconf-editor</tt> from the command line).</p>
