Add word deletion keybindings (chat:deleteWordBack, chat:deleteWordForward)

Resolved 💬 3 comments Opened Apr 10, 2026 by kaloobadia Closed Apr 13, 2026

Claude Code CLI should support word deletion keybindings, similar to terminal behavior on macOS.

Expected behavior:

  • alt+backspace: Delete the word before the cursor
  • alt+delete (or ctrl+alt+backspace): Delete the word after the cursor

This is a standard feature in most terminals and text editors.

Platform: macOS
