Hi! 
 
Whenever I use backspace to delete a character inside the java editor, 
Eclipse deletes the *whole* word. How can I change this behaviour, so 
that it just deletes a single character? 
 
I'm Using Eclipse Version 2.1.1, Build id: 200305150931. 
 
Thanks in advance! 
 
Christian.

Ah, this is why I hate so much the Emacs extension provided by 
Eclipse. This is just one of the very odd behaviors. 
 
I just remapped some of keys to look like emacs key-mapping 
in the standard mapping (e.g. Ctrl+N was for New, now becomes 
next line). 
 
But you still have very undesirable effects. For example, 
Eclipse is somehow considerably slower (you can feel it), 
and it crashes much more often, and still have strange 
behaviors (but more tolerable than the Emacs-extends-standard 
thingy).
