Normally in Windows while editing text (eg notepad), ctrl+shift+up arrow (or down arrow) selects whole paragraphs at a time. This behaviour doesnt exist in mozilla in form <textarea> widgets or in email composition. Expected behaviour: while editing text in a widget or an email, ctrl+shift+down arrow should select to the bottom of the current paragraph from the cursor. ctrl+shift+(left|right) do work as expected however, highlighting words at a time. ctrl+shift+(home|end) also works correctly, selecting respectively to begining and end of text.

excuse me, but i just tried notepad and nc4 on w2k, neither of them did anything when i tried ctrl-shift-up.

timeless: hmm, you are in fact right, sorry. It does work, however in Word and Outlook email composition. Very very handy when you need to select large portions of email for deletion or copying

Bug 211847 is about paragraph navigation (using ctrl+up/down). Implementation wise, this is almost the same thing as this bug - so making this one depend on that one.
