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! 👍
I can add MacOS shortcuts too. The only problem is that I don't have any Apple products at hand.
But, I will look at how to get them.
Or, somebody can send them to me.
Neither way, I will update this post.
Thank you for the idea! 🙌
