217877 - Spellchecker is stealing Ctrl-K shortcut

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 110517

(Core :: DOM: UI Events & Focus Handling, defect)

Description

Ctrl-K used to be the shortcut for "delete until the end of line" under UNIX (at
least since Navigator 3.0), although it is not mentioned on
http://www.mozilla.org/docs/end-user/moz_shortcuts.html#general. This is
inspired by emacs - there are several other emacs shortcuts available with mozilla.

This shortcut is now taken by the spellchecker, which makes editing very
annoying for users who are used to it. Since the spellchecker is only available
in Editor, the old behaviour is still there within text fields.

Reproducible: Always
