Awesome post. Thanks Yuriy!

My favourite shortcuts are Ctrl + Backspace and Ctrl + Delete. These both delete an entire word, and have basically changed how I type. The best thing is, they work just about anywhere!

On MacOS:

Option + Delete = remove from the end of the word to beginning.

Option + Fn + Delete = remove from the beginning to the end of the word.

You're welcome!

Deleting the whole word is much faster! 👍
