Hi Mike,

Sorry for the delay in response.  I enabled emacs keybindings, but they
don't do what I want.

There's no way of [re]moving convenient, small components of a URL
longer than a letter.  ^W for example removes the entire kb.m.o URL
included in README.Debian Re: emacs bindings.

What I mean by convenient: it should be easy to munge urls without
holding keys down for more than about a second.  I'm not sure of the
details, but other browsers do pretty well.  I think removing the regex
match "[A-Za-z]+|[0-9]+|." would work, but I'm also tempted to add that
multiple characters should be removed every time.  Perhaps
".*?([A-Za-z0-9]+)".

In the original bug submit mail, I meant: "^Backspace" and "^Delete",
rather than ^Esc.

I don't see why control+[del|bs|left|right] can't do this by default,
though it would be sufficient if there were some mechanism to enable it
with some key combination..

epiphany, dillo, galeon and IE, all do it.  konqueror has a different
erase style, something like "[?./]?[^?./]*", and ^L not only moves to
the address bar, but clears it.  I don't like either of these behaviors,
but perhaps kde users do.
