Hello.
I have wondered for about 15 years why the following key doesn't work.
Ctrl + Backspace in a file rename to delete the previous word
For example,
I have a file name: abc 123 xyz.txt
I try to rename it.
With the cursor after "3", I press Ctrl + Backspace, but nothing happens.
With the cursor before "1", I press Ctrl + Delete, then the next word 123 is deleted, as I expected.
◆ Summary
① Ctrl + Backspace in a file rename to delete the previous word
② Ctrl + Delete in a file rename to delete the next word
Why does ① not work, while ② works?
How can I make it work by changing wincmd.ini?

Re: Ctrl + Backspace in file rename to delete the previous word
I am used to use
Shift+Ctrl + ArrowLeft followed by Del (or Backspace or Space)
and
Shift+Ctrl + ArrowRight followed by Del
EDIT:
as Fla$her pointed out (see below), there is already a tread for this feature in the "TC suggestions (English)" part of the forum.
Possibly this thread here will be merged soon.

Thank you for your reply

I have read them and understood why it is not and will not be implemented.
