Public bug reported:
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.
