Re: Poor editor keyboard shortcuts

Dear Satish,
In NetBeans, "Delete previous word" operation is
performed with the key binding Ctrl+W and, as far as I
know, there is no shortcut for "Delete current word".
However, these bindings are configurable in NetBeans.
You can add the Ctrl+Backspace shortcut to the delete
previous word operation in addition to the Ctrl+W
shortcut (you can remove Ctrl+W if you like of
course). To delete the current word, you can define a
macro which will first select the current word with
Alt+J and then will press Delete to delete this word,
and then you can assign the shortcut Ctrl+Delete to
this macro.

Regards

Serkan
