This reminds me of a problem I face. I write documents in LaTeX all the time, and my preferred text editor is vim. In vim, CTRL-W will remove the last word in insert mode. This has become second nature to me, since I frequently find it faster to retype a whole word than to perform the correct number of backspaces to correct a typo midway.

What this really means is that I close browser windows with great frequency whenever I'm typing something and make a typo, and hit CTRL-W.
