Comment 28 for bug 50254

I don't understand bug 98546 comment 18 ("Unix browsers typically don't stop at
punctuation (makes life difficult in the urlbar)") - when changing from Galeon
1.3 to Firefox 0.8 I found this a significant regression.

Editing actions done in the URL bar are different to actions carried out in
normal textboxes. Specifically, the url bar never contains spaces, so breaking
only on spaces while processing the ctrl-left/right keys is useless. Instead,
ctrl-left/right should stop at the common url delimiter characters (bug 98546
comment 30), allowing swift editing of the URL with the keyboard rather than
fiddly pinpointing of the mouse or character-at-a-time positioning with
left/right keys.

Life would be much easier in the url bar if this was the case.

I'm talking here only about the ctrl-left/right word-at-a-time navigation keys.
What gets selected on a double-click seems to me to be a separate and less
important issue.

Furthermore, apparently due to Bug 193025, I can't easily check to see if
changing the hidden pref makes life more comfortable.
