I am trying to get the system wide Emacs keybinding (e.g., M-a to the start and M-e to the end for any input field) to work but couldn't: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme "Emacs" (from http:// askubuntu.com/ questions/181532/emacs-keybindings-in-ubuntu-12-04) ..does not work for me. Does anyone know how to get it working?
