139346 - RFE: ctrl+left/right -- '/' and '.' (etc) should denote a "new word." -- would be VERY helpful

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 98546

From Bugzilla Helper:

It would be extremely helpful and useful if using ctrl+left/right to move
between words in a URL, for example, or in a textbox in a form, for
ctrl+left/right to stop at characters such as '.' (period) and '/' (forward
slash) -- in IE, I have used this countless times to edit the URL in my address
bar, for example, but it has many many uses.  Please make this work in Mozilla... :(

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1....go to your address bar; put the cursor at the end 
2.press ctrl+left
3.note that you're are the very beginning of the address bar now... which is
useful in no way whatsoever, as you can just press "Home" to do this...

Actual Results:  entire URL is seen as one word by Mozilal's interpretation of
ctrl+left/right

Expected Results:  URL should be seen as multiple words, broken at characters
such as '.' and '/'

Please :(
