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
