[x] ctrl-w is the shortcut to close tabs, which means you can no longer close a bunch of tabs just by hitting ctrl-w, because any time you get caught in a textbox, ctrl-w stops closing tabs. I worked around this by creating a jaffymacs scheme that maps alt-w to delete previous word, and then I built my own termite that swaps ctrl-w and alt-w. I'm now trying to get in the habit of using alt-w to delete previous word.
[x] ctrl-f no longer opens a search box if you're focused in a text input. I decided to disable ctrl-f in jfattymacs so this isn't an issue.
[x] alt-d no longer works in Chrome to focus the url bar. I'm trying to retrain myself to use ctrl-l instead.
[x] ctrl-u deletes the entire current line, not from cursor to beginning of line as it should. (fixed in )
[ ] ctrl-a is no longer an option for selecting all text. ctrl-/ seems to be a pretty decent alternative, but it doesn't work in the terminal
[ ] alt-backspace doesn't work in Chrome. In terminal, it behaves similar to ctrl-w (which is now alt-w)
[ ] Hangouts steals ctrl-u for underlining
[ ] Slack's ctrl-k and ctrl-u keyboard shortcuts take precedence over emacs's.
Hacking slack. Disabling keyboard shortcuts can be done via: TS.key_triggers.getFromCode(85 /* u */).isDisabled = function() { return true; }
[ ] CodeMirror is royally messed up. None of the keyboard shortcuts seem to work. Try it out here: https://codemirror.net/. This causes problems for me in reviewboard and the chrome developer tools console.

This is awesome https://askubuntu.com/questions/124815/how-do-i-enable-emacs-keybindings-in-apps-such-as-google-chrome/918962#918962. But it has some issues:
