EnableGlobalEmacsBinding.md

Or you can enable emacs keybinding in all gtk-2 apps

  1. Add following line in .gtkrc-2.0

    gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs"

  2. And run following command

    $ gconftool -t string --set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme Emacs

To restore, just remove that line in .gtkrc-2.0 and run

$ gconftool -t string --set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme Default
