Not in Notepad, surely? Notepad is basically a regular Windows Edit Control with a simple wrapper to provide menus etc. Therefore I would say that is as close as you will get to defining a 'standard' for the keyboard interface.
It's apparent from the replies to Raymond's blog post that several applications have copied the 'rogue feature'. Maybe BB4W should too, but obviously it's not something that I can retro-fit into the existing version. I tried programming a Macro key to do it, but that didn't work either.

Well I use Notepad++ myself and thankfully haven't seen Microsoft's Notepad on my screen for literally years so I had no idea… but yes, as you say there it doesn't work either.
To be honest I never even thought of checking whether this feature is a "rogue" one… But anyway, if you ever start using it, you will see it's as useful as CTRL + Cursor (Left / Right) so maybe you'll get the desire to implement it in BB4W too

It's implemented in BB4W version 5.94a.

Just wanted to thank you for implementing this, it's really making things smoother for me!
…but to make things funny, in one of the latest updates Microsoft must have changed something because some (fortunately a minority) of the software that used this feature now works differently, namely it deletes the whole line (or inserts a "rectangle" character) instead of just the word! Grr!
Oh well at least it works "correctly" in BB4W
