             Summary: Ctrl + left/right arrow key, should move to next part of string in input fields
                 Key: NETBEANS-692
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NETBEANS-692
             Project: NetBeans
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: platform - Other, platform - Text
    Affects Versions: Next
            Reporter: Christian Lenz


I don't know the exact component, so please change it, if it is wrong. Atm, when I try to rename  a file like inside the editor a little dialog opens with an input field, where I can change the name. When I have a name smth like this: `my-new-stuff.component` and I only want to change new, I hold ctrl + left/right arrow, because I thought that I can navigate from the end to the next part which is separated with a dot and with a dash.

This is not possible, because it only jumps to the beginning or to the end of the string. This feature is a common feature to navigate to next words in your OS explorer or in the editor of NetBeans. So we need this feature in all free text form fields, where I can write text.

Fun fact, this feature is possible inside the search field for the editor, but not inside the search field for "find in path".

So I don't know where to add this feature request, but long story short: We need a consistent, navigation behaviour for each inputfield and select boxes, where you can have free text too.

Hope it is clear what I mean, if not, please let me know.


Cheers

Chris
