In Emacs, key bindings are not working for Ctrl-Backspace and Ctrl-Delete.

LAST MODIFIED DATE: March 04, 2008

VERSION: This applies to Exceed onDemand version 6.0

PROBLEM:

In Emacs, Ctrl-Backspace should delete the previous word and Ctrl-Delete should delete the word in front of the cursor.

Note: This issue was reported in (but may not be limited to):
Exceed onDemand 6

SOLUTION:

In order to do this, you need to add the following lines to the .emacs file in the user's home directory:

(global-set-key [C-backspace] 'backward-kill-word)
(global-set-key [C-delete] 'kill-word)

Then restart Emacs, Ctrl-Backspace and Ctrl-Delete should now work as expected.
