    I kind of doubt. My version could be corrupted at some point..

    Until you find out the cause, EditPad Lite 7 supports it. Control Backspace is in the edit keys list.

    It doesn't work in Win 7 Notepad or in Explorer - get that rectangle instead. But it does work with the editor used on this site.

    I just tried Notepad. It just outputs a funky character. It does work in Explorer folder search edit control though.

    I think I can live without keyboard shortcuts that work some places but not others

    You can do your own with AutoHotkey. I added control-t to transpose the last 2 characters typed in a bunch of browsers and editors. It's a common editor shortcut on Linux. It is not so common in Windows editing. At least not with the free Windows editors I use.

    Yeah, I've used Autohotkey. wHAT WOULD BE MOST USEFUL IS A SHORTCUT THAT CAN TRANSPOSE into lower case all those characters I've typed since I last accidentally caught the Caps Lock

    I've seen a bunch of caps lock ahk scripts. Some disable it unless you hold 2 or 3 keys down.

Quite a strange problem. Out of nowhere, CTRL+backspace has started minimizing windows instead of backspacing the last word in a text box. This is very annoying, since I'm used to using this shortcut to fix mistakes or wiping small chunks of text. Even while writing this, I've minimized the browser...
