Somewhat interesting back-story: http://blogs.msdn.com/oldnewthing/archive/2007/10/11/5395501.aspx As a result, most Windows programs include this functionality by way of the default Windows edit controls. Exceptions do occur in cases where a custom edit control is used (i.e. IDEs), but for the most part, it works. On Linux, this is an Emacs keybinding that has found its way into at least three of the major toolkits, GTK, QT, and Wx. I don't know whether it was inspired by Emacs, or simply meant to mimic the Windows edit control. On the web, CKEditor and TinyMCE include it per user request. On Mac, who knows. It could be worse. As an Emacs user, attempting to backspace over a word typically results in bolding the entire document and printing it down the hall while I'm helpless to intervene because the File->Save As menu has opened. -- To post to this group, send email to sage-support@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to sage-support-unsubscr...@googlegroups.com For more options, visit this group at http://groups.google.com/group/sage-support URL: http://www.sagemath.org
