ctrl+backspace to delete word, not whole url

Post by ychaouche »

Dear seamonkey users,

I was used to use ctrl+backsapce in the URL bar to delete one word at a time, in FF. In seamonkey,
it seems to remove the whole URL. Is this configurable ? like word delimiters or something.

Linux could be different in that respect.
It is not atypical for default actions - like this - to be different based on OS.

There is probably a pref that handles the behavior, but I'm at a loss for what it may be?
Fire 750, bring back 250.

I think it'll be:
layout.word_select.eat_space_to_next_word
layout.word_select.stop_at_punctuation

Under Windows they're set to "true" by default but under Linux (Mint) they are set to "false" by default.
