Details

When using the mail-composer, it would be useful to delete whole words at once with CTRL+BACKSPACE. Many programmes offer this as a default shortcut to do this. Eg: Some Text| | is the cursor. BACKSPACE deletes the T CTRL+BACKSPACE should delete the Word Text and the space and the cursor should be positioned to after Some : Some| The current way to do it in Mozilla is to select the word with CTRL+SHIFT+Left and then delete it. This is why I made this an enhancement rather than a bug. My version of Mozilla: Nightly Build 2001-12-23 (Windows 98)
To Editor. Note: this already works on Unix... not sure why it's not on on windows.
