>From the upstream bug report, it looks like some workaround was added back to v35, so I'll wait until that lands in utopic (which as of this writing still has v34).
** Bug watch added: code.google.com/p/chromium/issues #319437 http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=319437 ** Also affects: chromium-browser via http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=319437 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to chromium-browser in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1310663 Title: Text input fields lost Emacs bindings Status in Chromium Browser: Unknown Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Before today's full upgrade to 14.04, all the text input fields in the chromium browser responded to the basic Emacs navigation keys, such as ctrl-a (beginning of line), ctrl-e (end of line), ctrl-n (next line), ctrl-p (previous-line), ctrl-f (forward character), and ctrl-b (backward character). The fields these key bindings worked in include the awesome bar (i.e. url/search text field), and both single and multiline text input fields inside web pages (such as this one). Now, none of these keybindings work this way anymore. This is a severe productivity regression. This is despite the following facts: % gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme Emacs % gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme 'Emacs' and the fact that the keybindings still work in Firefox and other applications.
