Shift-backspace shouldn't forward-delete on non-Mac OS X operating systems. #937

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Press shift-backspace (on Windows or Linux).

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The character in front of the cursor is deleted.  It should be the one behind.

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

This can be changed in the preferences file.

Thank you for the note about changing it in the preferences file. Would it be a 
good idea to make this setting default to the expected behavior 
(editor.keys.shift_backspace_is_delete=false) ? Or would that break things on 
Mac OS X platforms?

I completely agree with dmel... and matthew...
The default setting should be "Shift+Backspace deletes the character behind the 
cursor".
This is the normal behavior used also in most other software.
This issue is open from May 2012 and is not yet corrected (Feb 2014 - Arduino 
1.0.5-r2).
