Disable keyboard accelerators?

[Fzang]

Is it possible to disable keyboard accelerators in GNOME (or whatever controls it)?

Add the following to your gtkrc (use ~/.gtkrc or ~/.gtkrc.mine if your ~/.gtkrc sources it) [1]:



gtk-enable-accels = 0
gtk-enable-mnemonics = 0


Also, for firefox, set the following to 0 in about:config [2]:



ui.key.generalAccessKey
ui.key.chromeAccess
ui.key.contentAccess
ui.key.menuAccessKey

Thanks a lot. It works :)

Yep, I have to disable it so the alt-* emacs keybindings for gtk text entries work right

Dude, all you need to do is disable the menu bar on the terminal where you are using emacs.
*facepalm*
