Support Ctrl+Backspace for deleting the last word

[stephen147]

Ctrl+BackSpace should delete the previous word like most programs.

Ctrl+Backspace is not natively supported by the Win32 edit control. That's the reason it doesn't work, I'm afraid. For the same reason, supporting it is more of an enhancement.

(You can, of course, press Ctrl+Shift+Left and then Backspace.)

No worries, thanks. Hopefully, it can be done easy enough.

Agree with this suggestion, and note it's everywhere supported on foobar.
Album list, autoplaylists, search, popup windows, context menu/properties, ....

So it's a bit confusing to have it working and most places and not in others.

Not literally everywhere – it doesn't work in many places in preferences (e.g. the album art patterns, media library file types, advanced preferences).

I was not talking about the preferences window but the actual software daily usage (and in such case this is the exception which is confusing).

Will report the preferences behavior too though, but I don't think it has the same priority since people is not working with that every day (and thus shortcuts are not needed).

It has now been fixed/implement on all input boxes on DUI from beta 26 onward, so the previous comment doesn't apply anymore.
