Title:
  dash navigation does not respect gtk-key-theme=emacs keybindings

Status in Unity:
  Confirmed
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Almost all text areas in Ubuntu apart from in the Dash respect the
  gconf setting /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme = "Emacs",  to
  have the emacs directional navigation keys (ctrl-p, ctrl-n, ctrl-f,
  ctrl-b for up, down, right, left, among others).

  Those of us who don't like to move off the home keys would really,
  really appreciate it if this worked in the dash.  It's great that I
  can summon it by tapping Super and start typing, but then having to
  shift around with the arrows spoils it.   We keyboard heads love
  launching apps from the keyboard with minimal effort, e.g. with Gnome-
  Do.
