I agree that this change should be the default on Ubuntu. As someone who uses multiple platforms this is quite irritating, and I'm glad to have at least found a solution I can use on my own thanks to this Launchpad entry. For what it's worth, this preference is set to true in both Windows and Mac OS X Firefox builds (except, of course, in Mac OS X the key sequence is option+delete instead of ctrl+backspace).
I don't know if we should be considering consistency with other Unix applications and platforms -- which seems to be Mozilla's point of view, and rightly so for them -- so much as consistency with other Ubuntu apps and other platforms with which many of us work on a daily basis. "Muscle memory" accounts for a lot of my productivity, and I'd imagine I'm not alone in this. -- Ctrl-Backspace should stop_at_punctuation https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/50254 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
