Description
Originally submitted to Google Code by berryman... on 12 Jun 2013
Currently CTRL + Backspace behaves differently in the edit tab to in pop ups e.g. when you add Documentation or a resource.
In the Edit tab, or Text Edit tab, CTRL + Backspace or delete will delete until the next significant character, the same functionality as the CTRL + SHIFT + Arrow. However when in a pop up, CTRL + Backspace adds a control character.
I would like to see the handling standardised to delete until the next signification character.
If you wanted to take it one further and include capitals in those significant characters a la eclipse, that would be even better :)
Cheers
Running Windows 7, ride 1.1, python 2.7.3

Research direction
Start by reproducing CTRL+Backspace in the Edit or Text Edit tab and in the Documentation or resource popups on the reported Windows setup. Compare the current deletion behavior with CTRL+SHIFT+Arrow, and consider the issue done when all mentioned editing contexts delete through the next significant character consistently.
