Mozilla key bindings

4:57pm, Wednesday 5 October 2005

Bah, a Mozilla upgrade ate some of my key bindings. To save me having to figure it out again next time :-( here's the fix.

Edit /usr/lib/mozilla/res/builtin/platformHTMLBindings.xml and insert the following lines in the inputFields and textAreas handlers:

<handler event="keypress" key="a" modifiers="accel" command="cmd_beginLine"/>
<handler event="keypress" key="e" modifiers="accel" command="cmd_endLine"/>
<handler event="keypress" key="d" modifiers="accel" command="cmd_deleteCharForward"/>

If there's a better way - let me know!
