No, it _doesn't_ work as it should. There are basically two problems with the
implementation as is:
1) Cursor position: Ctrl-Shift-Left should move the cursor word by word
to the left, not move immediately to the beginning of the text
2) Selection: Ctrl-Shift-Left should unselect word by word.
Again, things work properly in the message text.
I'd put this down as an annoying long-time bug that needs to be fixed. But it
doesn't bother me nearly as much as another poster in this thread.
