Shortcuts to delete and select text in Terminal
Problem
The shortcuts to delete texts in terminal are inconsistent, ctrl + del works perfectly, but ctrl + backspaces in terminal is alt + backspace, this is a little confusing when using terminal and ctrl + shift + arrow keys don't work at all
Proposal
In (most) text editors, browsers and applications, you can use:
- ctrl + backspace to quick delete the word left to the cursor
- ctrl + delete to quick delete the word right to the cursor
- ctrl + shift + arrow keys to select words or lines
