Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gedit

Description:    Ubuntu 8.04.1
Release:        8.04
gedit 2.22.3

If you set gnome to emacs bindings (launch gconf-editor then go to
/desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme and change the entry from
"Default" to "Emacs"), gedit doesn't quite respect the bindings.  For
example:

ctrl+f = move one char foward - works
ctrl+b = move one char back - works
ctrl+n = move one line down - works
ctrl+p = move one line up - works
ctrl+a = move to the start of the line - works
ctrl+e = move to the end of the line - works
ctrl+h = delete the char before the cursor - works
ctrl+y = paste - works

ctrl+d = should delete one char before the cursor - does not work, deletes the 
whole line
ctrl+k = should delete from the current cursor position to the end of the line 
- does not work, does an incremental search (even if you change the menu 
binding)
ctrl+w = should cut - does not work, deletes one char before the cursor

It sucks because it is so close to working perfectly, that the few that
don't work correctly sneak up on me and make the editor unusable.

Thanks for all your guys hard work, and I hope this is an easy fix.
It's not quite within my realm of knowledge or I'd have a go at fixing
it myself.

Cheers,
rob
