[Bug 1341667] Re: Ctrl+Backspace should send ^W instead of doing the same thing as Backspace
I see. I assume you misplaced the closing parenthesis and meant this: In normal Gtk+ applications this key combination deletes the previous word (Ctrl+W in Bash). Terminals and apps running inside terminals (e.g. bash) are quite a different world from Gtk+ and it's hopeless to aim for the same Ctrl+Backspace behavior. Nevertheless, the behavior for Ctrl+Backspace in gnome-terminal is not what it should be, which will be addressed in the linked mainstream bug. After fixing that, you'll probably be able to bind ^H to deleting a word, although this might have some undesired side effects, I'm not sure about that. I think it's better if you get used to ^W or Alt+Backspace instead. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1341667 Title: Ctrl+Backspace should send ^W instead of doing the same thing as Backspace To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1341667/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

See https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733246 . Gnome-terminal should do whatever xterm does. "In normal Gtk+ applications this key combination deletes the previous word (Ctrl+W) in Bash" -- what do you mean by normal Gtk+ applications that run bash? Note that by default Alt+Backspace in bash does the same as ^W (and what you'd prefer Ctrl+Backspace to do). ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #733246 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733246 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1341667 Title: Ctrl+Backspace should send ^W instead of doing the same thing as Backspace To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-terminal/+bug/1341667/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
