this does not always work,
the changes in KeyEventTranslations.tr are overwritten
by conflicting settings in MenuSetup.tr (in the same directory).
e.g., if you would like to have the emacs C-a (MoveLineBeginning)
you have to add the following line in KeyEventTranslations.tr
Item[KeyEvent["a", Modifiers -> {Control}], "MoveLineBeginning"],
by default, C-a is bound to "Enter Selection" in the "Find" menu,
therefore, in MenuSetup.tr, you have to remove the last argument from
Item["Enter Selection",
"SelectionSetFind", MenuKey["e", Modifiers->{Control}]],
_Question:_
Is it possible to do this not system-wide but only
for a specific user? Where would I have to place the files?
placing the modified .tr files in the user preferences directory
~/.Mathematica/FrontEnd/5.0_Caches/Linux/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X
(Mathematica 5, Linux) does not seem work
(original location is
...Wolfram/Mathematica/5.0/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/X)
Thanx,
