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 Bugs, which is subscribed to 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 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
