pressed ctrl+t in an attempt to transpose characters around the cursor




Actual results:

nothing


Expected results:

Similar to https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=229473 the result should mirror readline/os x/emacs shortcuts in this case ctrl+t should transpose the characters around the cursor and alt+t should transpose the words around the cursor.

Hi Reporter, Can you still reproduce this in safe-mode and clean profile? Thanks

Yes I can. Looking at the code in https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/source/dom/xbl/builtin/mac/platformHTMLBindings.xml it doesn't look like it's implemented at all, so this is more of a feature request.

I also have this issue. I came here to report it, but see now that it was already reported. I submitted this issue to support.mozilla.org, to little avail, but there's additional info about reproducing the issue there. Specifically, there are some places where ctrl+t works, and many where it does not.

Here's a copy/paste of the important information: 

- The Firefox address/search bar: does not work. Not sure how to check or diagnose. 

- The Firefox page search: does not work. Also don't know how to diagnose. 

- The Facebook search bar: does not work. This is an HTML input tag. 

- The Facebook post text area: does work. This is a nested div, I assume that some JavaScript make it act as a text area. 

- The Player.me post area: does work. This is also a nested div, similar to the Facebook post text area. 

- The Tweetdeck post area: does not work. This is an HTML textarea tag. 

- The Twitter post area: does not work. This is nested divs, like Facebook and Player.me, however whereas those sites work, this one does not. 

- The DuckDuckGo search area: does not work. This is an HTML input tag. 

- The Fastmail email compose area: does not work. This is nested divs as well. Doesn't work, like Twitter. 

- This Mozilla Support forum: does not work. This text box I'm typing in right now is an HTML text area.

Additionally, I think this is a duplicate of https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=433972
