You might get some of those by asking, I don't know if they're the ones you're talking about because I don't remember any keybindings (I use them, I just don't remember what they are). This is considered a keyboard "theme" for GNOME and is now hidden away somewhere because it's not part of GNOME's mission, but a search online should find it.

This is the super-secret-magic command you need:

gconftool-2 --set /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme Emacs --type string

After that, all GTK applications will let you use Emacs-oid keys for text entry. (I'm using it right now in Firefox to type this. Hurray!)

P.S. I wrote up a little bit more about it on the Firefox wiki.

THANKS!

Having lost input in a textarea field once too often because I typed C-W to delete some marked word, this is a life-safer.
