[REQ] Fix CTRL+BKSPC to work in all places

Post by *wanderer »

I'm sure i've seen this request inside other posts, but here it is on its own, hoping to get more attention: Please fix CTRL+BKSPC to work the same way in all places.

Currently it does not work in:
  • Rename
  • MkDIr
  • Breadcrumbs bar (when "clickable paths" is disabled)
  • (i'm probably missing other places too but the above are the most important)
It does work in command-line though.

How it should work? IMO it should either delete all text left of the cursor, or delete text up to the first \ before the cursor (as it works in the command-line). My vote in on the command-line way.

This has been discussed quite a lot before. Ctrl+Backspace only works in fields where autocomplete is enabled. It's not a feature of TC but one of Windows's edit fields. Take a look at this thread, especially the explanation given/quoted by HolgerK and the script he posted: viewtopic.php?t=74462

Hey, thanks for the link. It would be really useful to have the command-line behavior (which seems custom-made by Christian) at the other places too. I'm mostly facing it as an issue in renaming and create dir functions, so all the others would be "nice-to-have" for me, but they would indeed add uniformity to TC.
