Hmm, you seem to have done what is recommended in the TWiki FAQ at
http://www.abisource.com/twiki/bin/view/Abiword/FaqEditorBindings
and also in the (obsolete) static FAQ at http://www.abisource.com/support/faq/
I found this two-step instruction at http://epoxy.mrs.umn.edu/misc.html

AbiWord is a really cool basic GUI word processor.
One of its neat features is to use arbitrary key-bindings, including
emacs-like and vi-like ones. Here's how to set this up. Edit your
~/.AbiSuite/AbiWord.Profile file. Then add something like this:
<Scheme
name="Cool"
KeyBindings="emacs"
/>
And then, at the beginning, find the Select tag, and modify the scheme
attribute to refer to the new Scheme you just typed:
<Select
scheme="Cool"
autosaveprefs="1"
useenvlocale="1"
/>
</snip>
If this works, can you please update the TWiki FAQ to help other people.
Cheers - Stephen.
