When using Ctrl+Left to navigate the rich text, when the cursor is at the end of a word, or inside a word, Ctrl+Left goes to the start of the previous word.  It should go to the start of the current word.

Is there a work-around for this?  Can it be fixed?

Hi Jason,

Thank you for writing.

I was able to reproduce this issue and I have logged it in our Feedback Portal. You can track the item for status changes and add your vote for it here.

To workaround this you create a custom input behavior and handle the left key manually:
public class CustomInputBehavior : InputBehavior
{
    public CustomInputBehavior(DocumentView view) : base(view)
    {
    }
 
    protected override bool ProcessLeftKey(KeyEventArgs e)
    {
        RadDocument document = this.DocumentView.Document;
        if ((Control.ModifierKeys & Keys.Control) == Keys.Control)
        {
            string pos = document.CaretPosition.ToString();
            int posInWord = Convert.ToInt32(pos.Substring(pos.IndexOf('@') + 1, 1));
            if (posInWord > 0)
            {
                document.CaretPosition.MoveToCurrentWordStart();
            }
            else
            {
                document.CaretPosition.MoveToPreviousWordStart();
            }
           
            return true;
        }
        return base.ProcessLeftKey(e);
    }
}

The behavior can be changed as follows:
this.radRichTextBox1.DocumentView.InputBehavior =
new CustomInputBehavior(this.radRichTextBox1.DocumentView);

Thanks Dimitar.
I've updated the code to also handle the caret at the end of a word or at the end of a paragraph:

if (posInWord > 0 || pos == "\" \"@0" || pos == "\"ΒΆ\"@0")
{
    document.CaretPosition.MoveToCurrentWordStart();
}

The solution works, but the Caret doesn't move immediately, as it does without the custom input behavior.

Thank you for writing back.

Please note that this is just a workaround and in this case the functionality can be slower than normal. Nevertheless if you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us.
