[Alphacocoa-devel] [alphacocoa:tickets] #132 keyboard shortcut for moving and deleting text

[Bernard D. <bde...@us...>]

That would be nice but Alpha does not support bindings involving the `fn` key. I had implemented this (bindings with `fn` key) a few months ago but finally removed this feature because of conflicts with the function keys and also because some keyboards do have the `fn` key missing or in such a location that it makes the execution of the bindings a very acrobatic exercice.
I could implement a *cmd-clear* binding (that is to say *command*+*forward delete*) instead of *cmd-fn-backward*.
Note that the Cocoa text engine does not provide this binding (I verified with TextEdit).

- alt-left or alt-right arrow: move one word backward / forward
- alt-backward or alt-fn-backward : delete one word backward / forward

- cmd-left or cmd-right arrow: move at the begining or the end of the line
- cmd-backward: delete up to the begining of the line
What about having the symetrical : cmd-fn-backward: for deleting up to the end of the line?
Maybe inconsistent with other keyboards convention...
