The answer is to put the following line in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 |
| 23 |
|
| 24 |
gtk-key-theme-name = "Emacs" |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
_without_ the '[Settings]' section header in front of it (that's |
| 27 |
apparently a gtk-3 thing). |

For weeks I've thought Firefox was flaking out: odd menus popping up, |
| 30 |
input focus shifting around randomly, field values vanishing and |
| 31 |
various other sorts of weirdness. Finally I realized that it had |
| 32 |
switched to Windows key bindings instead of emacs. [I've been using |
| 33 |
emacs key bindings for so long, I'm not even conscious of it most of |
| 34 |
the time. Watching me try to use Windows programs is probably pretty |
| 35 |
funny... until I throw a Donald.] |
