To get emacs key bindings in gtk applications you can put
in ~/.gtkrc-2.0 and set the environment variable
GTK_IM_MODULE to xim.
Now, in places like textboxes and the address field in firefox you can use C-a, C-e, C-b, C-f to move the cursor around. For someone like me with emacs on the brain this is nice. By the way, I think vi users can get something similar. See http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Vi_key_bindings_in_gtk.
In the forums editor, C-b in bound to entering bold tags. So, as I said I have emacs on the brain so I'm constantly intending to go back a character, but instead enter bold tags. Is there an easy way to turn off the binding of C-b to bold tags?
