In your AbiWord.profile file you'll see a keybindings entry. Duplicate
this and put it into your 'custom' scheme. Valid values are:

"default" (msword-like)
"emacs" (emacs-like)
"viEdit" (vi-like)

emacs and default work rather well. viEdit is kinda crappy and is a
*very* low priority for us developers at the moment.
