I do a lot of programming so I’m very accustom to my emacs shortcut keys (C-e, C-a, C-f, C-b). One of the coolest features of Mac OS X is that they have those emacs keys enabled by default but Linux does not!
I’ve found a way to have this feature on Linux as well:
- Edit your
~/.gtkrc-2.0file. - Add
include "/usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc"to the file.
Now, whatever GTK+ application you start should have the emacs navigation keys! This unfortunately gets overwritten by the application’s shortcut keys and I’m looking for a way to make the emacs keys have the highest priority.
