Description Andrey Matveyakin 2012-07-20 22:53:23 UTC

Ctrl+Backspace is a standard shortcut for deleting a word to the left from the cursor.
But when you are renaming a file (pressing F9, not via "Move" dialog) and try to delete the last word Krusader suddenly switches current directory to "/", that is undesirable.
I can certainly change the shortcut myself, but I don't think I'm the only one who uses Ctrl+... combinations to work with words instead of characters, so it seems to me the default shortcut should be changed.
I can propose Alt+Backspace for example.
Or, alternatively, the shortcut may be disabled while renaming is active.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any directory other than "/"
2. Select any file
3. Press F9
3. Press Right arrow (to discard selection)
4. Press Ctrl+Backspace
Actual Results:  
Current folder is switched to "/", file name remain unchanged.

Expected Results:  
Last word should have been removed from the file name (editing certainly should not stop after that).

Still happens. That is a specimen of https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-56632

Fixed. Defining the behaviour of "global shortcut" vs. "key event for focused widget" belongs to the application and has nothing to do with the UI framework.

How can the framework know what the application wants to do? So, I predict your Qt bug report is invalid.

But thanks anyway!

Well, alt + ← for go to next word (widget)/go back (global) works well without such definition.
