>From the upstream bug report, it looks like some workaround was added
back to v35, so I'll wait until that lands in utopic (which as of this
writing still has v34).

Title:
  Text input fields lost Emacs bindings

Status in Chromium Browser:
  Unknown
Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Before today's full upgrade to 14.04, all the text input fields in the
  chromium browser responded to the basic Emacs navigation keys, such as
  ctrl-a (beginning of line), ctrl-e (end of line), ctrl-n (next line),
  ctrl-p (previous-line), ctrl-f (forward character), and ctrl-b
  (backward character).  The fields these key bindings worked in include
  the awesome bar (i.e. url/search text field), and both single and
  multiline text input fields inside web pages (such as this one).

  Now, none of these keybindings work this way anymore.  This is a
  severe productivity regression.

  This is despite the following facts:

  % gconftool-2 --get /desktop/gnome/interface/gtk_key_theme
  Emacs
  % gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme
  'Emacs'

  and the fact that the keybindings still work in Firefox and other
  applications.
