ctrl-delete deletes too much?

[Elliott Hughes]

what do you think ctrl-delete removes here?

if (!someFunction

if you guessed "(!someFunction", you're right, but weird. surely we
wanted this to just delete "someFunction"? this caught me out earlier
because i basically ended up turning

if (!x()) {

into

if (y()) {

because i noticed the ( disappear but not the !.

Do you mean Ctrl-Backspace from the end of that line? In that situation, MS Word and Wordpad delete "someFunction".

if (!someFunction

if (!x()) {

into

if (y()) {

Mac OS' TextEdit also deletes 'someFunction' and leaves the ! alone,
upon alt-backspace.

Personally I don't think I've ever used ctrl-backspace; I usually
either select then delete or just hammer the delete key and pretend I'm
thinking, so if you correct Evergreen's behaviour it won't bother me
either way.

Ditto.  Unless you're telling me that ctrl-delete is going to complete my tax return and give me a back rub, I'm unlikely to start using it.
