This is still an issue in Ephy 1.2.x.

From: Michael Banck <mbanck@debian.org>
Package: epiphany-browser
Version: 1.0.7-3
Severity: normal

I find it highly annoying that epiphany mocks my typing habits and
closes the tab each time I want to back-delete a word in a textbox
(ctrl-w). Could it please check whether emacs-keybindings are configured
(in desktop preferences->keyboard shortcuts or similar [got a german
locale right now]) and then catch <ctrl> when in a textbox.

Galeon does not do this, it honors text-boxes (google, advogato diary
entries, whatever) and does not close the current tab then (or does any
other action like c-r or c-b or whatever)

(I feel a bit like when I last used IE, which apparently has "undo"
mapped to ESC. I'm mostly a vi user)


thanks,

Michael
