Yup. Ctrl W kills me while I write something inside a browser and want to delete a word I've... oh, there goes a tab.

- sp332 14y agoI realize it's still annoying but you can Ctrl-Shift-T to get a tab back, usually with the partially-filled form intact.
- dredmorbius 14y agoOr use vimperator (or its replacement whose name escapes me). 'd' deletes a tab (as will C-w), 'u' "undeletes" it. History made marvelously easy. This alone sold me on the extension.
- npongratz 14y agoAre you perhaps referring to Pentadactyl[1]? I'm a huge fan of it. [1] http://5digits.org/help/pentadactyl/ http://5digits.org/help/pentadactyl/
- dredmorbius 14y agoThanks, yes. I'd seen it referenced here, haven't used it. Vimperator still works on my somewhat age'd 14.0 FF.
- npongratz 14y agoI've used Lazarus (for Firefox) to good effect for recovering lost forms: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-recovery/ https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/lazarus-form-...
- sequoia 14y agoWhen you see me half ask a question on IRC then quit, or quit repeatedly. ^^^ Switching context between vim & xchat & killing tabs. See also: jjjkkjkkgg
- FreeFull 14y agoIn irssi, ctrl+w does actually delete a word (and ctrl+u does delete the line)
- tel 14y agoM-Q to reformat a paragraph in emacs is even worse...
- luriel 14y agoThe broken bindings for ^W and ^U have driven me crazy enough to create a website dedicated to try to document how to fix broken software to properly handle them: http://unix-kb.cat-v.org/ http://unix-kb.cat-v.org/ Note that this are not vi(m) keybidnings, they are classic Unix keybindings that should work on any Unix application. (They even work in Plan 9!)
