93374 - alt backspace clear

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 62063

(SeaMonkey :: Location Bar, defect)

Description

[Audun Hove]

Alt+backspace from the end of the url does not clear the the
text in the url bar as it did in netscape and as it does in bash.
This is a irritating when you want to paste a url from elsewhere
into the url field.

fwiw nc4win32 alt-backspace was undo.

Comment 2

[Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen)]

To paste a URL, press accel-L, accel-V. No backspace needed.

To middle-click paste, middle-click the content area (not a link or form widget,
however).

Try using ctrl-backspace.  This does exactly what alt-backspace used to do.

If you change your accelerator key back to alt, of course, alt-backspace will
work as you wish (and alt-n will open new windows, and so on).

I would say this bug is invalid, since with ctrl as the accelerator key
alt-anything should _not_ trigger any actions.  It should just open menus.
