Ctrl-left/right rotates page when searching or editing text form fields
Last modified: 2013-05-07 17:32:27 UTC
When searching a document (by pressing / and typing search terms), using the standard Ctrl-left/right key bindings rotates the document pages, when it would be expected to jump between the words in the focused search term text box. The latter would be a nicer behaviour, IMO.
Lost the patience wih this bug long time ago. It's surprising how this wasn't fixed yet.
What do you think about using CTRL + Up/Down, like gedit does? This way it woulnd't affect the rotation.
That's for the end of line, not next word. And besides, I never knew abaout control+up/down until you mentioned them; I always used control+left/right for jumping.
Ctrl-left/right is very standard. I think the "right" behaviour is to disable the rotation binding in favour of the text binding when a text field has focus -- is that possible?
Ctrl-left/right is a very standard text cursor binding. I think the "right" behaviour here is to disable the rotation binding in favour of the text binding when a text field has focus -- is that possible?
I already added Ctrl-up/down to evince 3.3.4. If we disabled rotate actions when search is active, you would not be able to rotate de document while searching even from the the menu or toolbar buttons.

I did not find this bug when I reported a similar issue in a new one. I am marking duplicated of the newer one because it was already fixed. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 699630 ***
