How do I make emacs-key-bindings work everywhere in linux

0

I am just tired of reaching for the home and arrow keys. There is a windows hack: http://www.davesquared.net/2008/02/emacs-key-bindings-everywhere.html How can we achieve that in linux? The alternative is to make every textfield editable in a emacs buffer, see this question: https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/239768/how-to-edit-text-anywhere-with-your-favorite-editor-in-linux

You can't. There isn't a single class or object that's used to input text in Linux programs. There is on MacOS, but not on Linux.

Autokey can do some of cursor movement through shortcut, but it doesn't work all the time. – godblessfq – 2016-02-05T10:34:14.187
