backspace deletes more than one character [message #56790] Fri, 13 June 2003 18:07 Go to next message

Hi!

Whenever I use backspace to delete a character inside the java editor,
Eclipse deletes the *whole* word. How can I change this behaviour, so
that it just deletes a single character?

I'm Using Eclipse Version 2.1.1, Build id: 200305150931.

Thanks in advance!

Christian.

No, it's just backspace.

The problem is:

Workbench->Keys->Active Configuration->Emacs (extends Standard)

Whenever I switch back to Standard, the problem disappears and
backspace deletes just one character. Selecting "Emacs" again
will switch back to the previous behaviour: backspace deletes
the whole word. :-(

Any hints how to get around this?

Ah, this is why I hate so much the Emacs extension provided by
Eclipse. This is just one of the very odd behaviors.

I just remapped some of keys to look like emacs key-mapping
in the standard mapping (e.g. Ctrl+N was for New, now becomes
next line).

But you still have very undesirable effects. For example,
Eclipse is somehow considerably slower (you can feel it),
and it crashes much more often, and still have strange
behaviors (but more tolerable than the Emacs-extends-standard
thingy).
