GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 162157
Arrow keys move cursor visually while Ctrl-Arrow move logically
Last modified: 2004-12-26 06:52:28 UTC
Gtk input controls feature visual cursor movement, where the cursor disregards the logical order of the characters. However, Ctrl-Arrow accelerators, which jump over words rather than characters, move the cursor logically, which is very confusing in RTL paragraphs. On Windows, where the arrows move the cursor logically, they simply flip the arrows for both by-character and by-word movement. However, we'll have to do something more complicated: make by-word movement visual as well.
