- aplaice 4y agoUnfortunately, GTK 4 has removed key themes. Eventually, Firefox, Chrom(e|ium) and all actual GTK applications will migrate to GTK 4, so this is not very future-proof. I use a variant of the emacs key theme, so I'd be happy if there were a workaround...

It works in Chrome, but unfortunately not in the standalone Slack client. (Maybe an argument for switching to the web version?) (Uh, does anyone know how I select all (previously C-a) or search (previously C-f) in Chrome now??) EDIT: Looks like C-/ functions as select all, still looking for a find replacement. EDIT #2: Oh, silly me, as long as I'm not focused on an input, C-f still works.
