Ctrl-down-arrow, Ctrl-up-arrow insert "Down" and "Up"

[SegundoBob]

Running Leo-Editor 5041 under Ubuntu 11.10 with the Fluxbox window
manager, I see that when the focus is in the body or a headline open
for editing, hitting Ctrl-down-arrow inserts the word "Down" and
hitting Ctrl-up-arrow inserts the word "Up".

Is this the desired behavior? I think it would be slightly better if
these keystrokes did nothing.

No. As you say, they should do nothing if not bound to something more useful.

I see this on Ubuntu, but not on Windows.

The easiest (best??) solution will be to add the following bindings to
leoSettings.leo:

do-nothing = ctrl-Down
do-nothing = ctrl-Up

This takes care of the problem, and indeed is a general solution for
all similar kinds of problems.

Otoh, it's possible that an "internal" solution would be more
reasonable. That is, it would seem natural to ignore unbound
*modified* arrow keys. I'll look into it, but expect to see the
binding above added to leoSettings.leo soon.

Done at rev 5050. All unit tests pass with the do-nothing bindings.

Your fix works for me. Thanks.

Same problem with Ctrl+PgUp and Ctrl+PgDown.

Thanks: I'll assign them to do-nothing by default in leoSettings.leo.

Done at rev 5070.
