Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 229473

(Firefox :: General, defect)

Description

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; PPC Mac OS X Mach-O; en-US; rv:1.7b) Gecko/20040316

Modern OS's like unix/linux/OS X share many key shortcuts. One of these which is
available is ctrl-k to delete from insertion-point to end-of-line. Very handy to
use in the address field if auto-complete includes portions of the URL you don't
want. Safari does this right. None of the Mozilla family do except on linux. 


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start typing in the address field.
2. Notice that the remainder of the field has been auto-completed.
3. Click in the middle of the field to set the insertion point to end of the
domain, with some part of the address remaining. 
4. Type ctrl-k
Actual Results:  
Nothing changed

Expected Results:  
Erase the remainder of the address field from the insertion point to the end.

Using shift-cmd-right arrow will select the remainder of the line, which can
then be erased by a delete keypress. This is more complicated to type, and adds
an additional keystroke. It also does not follow known practice. (Try the same
thing in Safari, or in Mozillas on Linux or Solaris (I think it works on
Solaris, not confirmed as I don't currently have one on hand.)
