189741 - Treat common separating elements of URL as whitespace in urlbar

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 98546

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, enhancement)

Description

[Juha Sahakangas]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.0; en-US; rv:1.2.1) Gecko/20021130

It would be nice if mozilla would treat common separating elements of an URL
(eg. "/", "?", "&", maybe ".", "=" and "+" as well) as whitespace when in URL
bar, which would make navigating and modifying URL with ctrl+arrows faster.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Type in url (for example http://www.mozilla.org/releases/mozilla1.2.1) into
location bar
2. while caret is at the end of that url press ctrl+leftarrow

Actual Results:  
Caret jumps into beginning of line, before http

Expected Results:  
caret should jump to end of previous "word", which, in the URL sense would be
right after releases/

This has been working for about two weeks now. (When reporting a bug or filing a
RFE, please always check a recent build to see if the issue hasn't been fixed
already.)

Marking this as a duplicate of the bug that fixed the problem, though there
might be another one which more closely mirrors this specific request.

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 98546 ***
