Additionally, following are Ctrl+keys that work and do not work (linux).  

Work as usual:

Ctrl+G - find next (but Ctrl+F doesn't work)
Ctrl+I - page info
Ctrl+L - goes to url bar
Ctrl+O - file open dialog box
Ctrl+Q - quit
Ctrl+S - save as
Ctrl+T - new tab

special for textbox:
Ctrl+A - cursor start of line
Ctrl+B - cursor left (back)
Ctrl+C - copy selection
Ctrl+D - delete char after cursor
Ctrl+E - cursor end of line
Ctrl+F - cursor right (forward)
Ctrl+H - backspace (^H)
Ctrl+K - kill to end of line
Ctrl+N - cursor down (next line)
Ctrl+P - cursor up (prev line)
Ctrl+R - redo last undo
Ctrl+U - Kill line
Ctrl+V - paste from clipboard
Ctrl+W - delete prev word
Ctrl+X - cut selection
Ctrl+Z - undo

unknown:
Ctrl+J
Ctrl+M

behaviour should be consistent.  either all should not work, or all should work.
 I think there should be an additional modifier to make these things work in
text areas.  A simple text box doesn't require so many control characters. 
Ctrl+C, X, V are standard, and have similar usage inside and outside.

Maybe this will help

Don't we already have a dupe of this?

Cc'ing some editor folks who know about text widget keybindings.

Sairuh, what's the master bug to which we're duping these "confusion about all
the conflicting key bindings in linux" bugs?
