I use Firefox with phpmyadmin and the issue I have is that when editing text fields in phpmyadmin the ctrl + arrows don't work as expected: ctrl + right moves the cursor forward word by word but ctrl left changes the field (like a tab key would). This is irritating: is it a bug or can this behaviour be changed?

I have recently read that the future os will basically just launch a browser from which we will do most of our everyday computing tasks: it seems important that browsers behave the way we would expect them, based on our experience with the programmes they will replace.

In Google Chrome ctrl + arrows work as expected... I like Firefox but using Chrome with phpmyadmin is consequently easier.
