Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Delete

[sirfoobar]

Hello,
Thank you for a wonderful product.

I think it would be terrific if there were an option to have Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Delete work like other Windows programs. In most other Windows programs:
Ctrl+Backspace works the same as: Ctrl+Shift+Left, Backspace.
Ctrl+Delete works the same as: Ctrl+Shift+Right, Delete.

I have coded macros to emulate this behavior but I bet this is something that others would like as a built-in option. I missed it for a long time.

//delete_left_word.jsee

// Behavior like ctrl+backspace in most Windows editors

// If there is selected text, then delete the selection only. 
// Otherwise delete like: shift+ctrl+left, backspace.

if (document.selection.Text.length > 0) {
	document.selection.Delete();
} else {
	document.selection.WordLeft( true );
	document.selection.Delete();
}

//delete_right_word.jsee

// Behavior like ctrl+delete in most Windows editors

// If there is selected text, then delete the selection only. 
// Otherwise delete like: shift+ctrl+right, delete.

if (document.selection.Text.length > 0) {
	document.selection.Delete();
} else {
	document.selection.WordRight( true );
	document.selection.Delete();
}

All the best, Garth
