Description Rodney Cheater 2002-07-16 08:09:21 UTC 
Ctrl-backspace and ctrl-delete do nothing. Ctrl-backspace 
should delete to the start of the current token or delete 
the previous token. Ctrl-delete should delete to the end 
of the current token or delete the next token. (C.f. any 
decent Windows text editor.)

Target milestone was changed from not determined to TBD
Comment 2 pepperpusher 2003-01-29 09:59:04 UTC 
I'm on mandrake 9, ctrl+shift causes caret not to move when arrow is
clicked. shift+ctrl causes one letter per arrow-click to be selected.
the behavior of both (shift pressed first or vice versa) should be
marking the next word etc.

It's a killer bug for people with carpal tunnel syndrome / rsi...

changing subcomp, ENH is still valid, lowering the priority
