Description
I am running Windows Vista and version 2.3.1. I use the keyboard a lot. Once the shortcuts are known, I find it faster than mousing. With all Windows applications, Ctrl+Right moves the carrot to the beginning of the next word. But with Pidgin, it moves the carrot to the end of the current word.
Normal wo|rdA wordB (before Ctrl-Right) wordA |wordB (after Ctrl-Right)
Pidgin wordA| wordB (after Ctrl-Right)

With a little bit of gtkrc binding magic this can be done. binding "be-like-windows" {
bind "<ctrl>Right" {
"move-cursor" (words, 1, 0) "move-cursor" (visual-positions, 1, 0)
} bind "<shift><ctrl>Right" {
"move-cursor" (words, 1, 1) "move-cursor" (visual-positions, 1, 1)
}
... } widget "*" binding "be-like-windows"
The first numerical argument is the count, the second is whether to extend the selection. You should be able to figure the rest out I hope.
This is GTK+ behavior; we can't change it.
