I just decided to give Leo a try last weekend, and there's a lot about
it that I really like. It does seem to do some unique things, and a
lot of my time this week has been spent reading the documentation and
playing with it.

I thought I would first ask about some simple text editing behaviors
that I'd like to modify.

First, Ctrl-Backspace and Ctrl-Delete. I didn't realize how much I
used these until they stopped working like I expected. I found the
"kill-word" and "backward-kill-word" commands by looking in
leoSettings.leo, but it seems to leave behind punctuation characters
and whitespace. I tried to think of how this would be useful, but
didn't come up with anything. Perhaps someone could explain? Are other
people simply not used to Ctrl-Backspace the way I am?

In any case, I'd love to change/fix this behavior (and I wouldn't mind
customizing it so it would remove multiple spaces at once without
removing the word next to the spaces, but that's less important, and
I'm still thinking about the exact behavior). If this is not something
you'd want to change in the core, would a plugin be the best way to
create the desired behavior, either by creating a new command or
modifying the existing one?

One related thing: backspace seems to remove multiple spaces, to the
tab stop I suppose, and this has been tripping me up. How can I change
the behavior so it only removes one space (I would like to use the
aforementioned Ctrl-Backspace or Shift-Tab when I need to remove
multiple spaces).

I'm liking Leo a lot; I'm hopeful that I can find some good uses for
it. Thanks for creating such an interesting application.

Sam
