Man am I ever glad I posted that follow-up and that you replied :-) 
After I looked at your message I found that ui file and made some
experimental changes (I don't know anything at all about this xml
business).  I now have all the editing keys I want in phpBB forums and
after never hearing from the author am encouraged to try the same thing
to another gnome app I use a lot!!  Excellent.

I'd die without *NIX/emacs-style editing/nav and I hate how some gnome
apps support it, others don't and others partially.  It's impossible to
remember which ones do/don't and I can't tell you how much text I've
wiped out using ctl-a when it doesn't work.

Thanks!

Mike
