PhpMyAdmin 4.4.10: Control key + Arrow key NOT working while inserting or editing a database table record. Fix it in SECONDS.

Amazon I use PhpMyAdmin 4.4.10. When I browse a database table and click on Edit to edit a record, I realize I cannot use Control key + Arrow key to navigate in the Value text field or text area. I can use the Arrow key alone fine, but very often I use Control + Left key or Control + Right key to move cursor quickly. What can I do to be able to use Ctrl and any arrow key while editing or inserting a table row?

Solution

First locate your WAMP folder. In my case, my WAMP folder is C:\wamp2.5.

In C:\wamp2.5\apps\phpMyAdmin-4.4.10-english\js\keyhandler.js, I did the following to enable control key + arrow key.

view source

print?

1	function onKeyDownArrowsHandler(e)

2

{

3

return;

4	(original code)

5

...

6	(original code)

7

}

Save your change and reload PhpMyAdmin or PMA and see if it fixes the problem.

This fix will also work when you are inserting a new database table record.
