"Text editing" keyboard shortcuts table

Current Documentation

The page currently lists these text-editing shortcuts:

| Ctrl+K | Delete to end of line | Stores deleted text for pasting | | Ctrl+U | Delete from cursor to line start | Stores deleted text for pasting. Repeat to clear across lines in multiline input | | Ctrl+Y | Paste deleted text | Paste text deleted with Ctrl+K or Ctrl+U | | Alt+Y (after Ctrl+Y) | Cycle paste history | After pasting, cycle through previously deleted text.

Requires [Option as Meta](#keyboard-shortcuts) on macOS | | Alt+F | Move cursor forward one word | Word navigation. Requires [Option as Meta](#keyboard-shortcuts) on macOS |

No Windows-specific shortcut for deleting the previous word is documented here.

What's Wrong or Missing?

Changelog v2.1.113 includes the user-facing entry Windows: Ctrl+Backspace now deletes the previous word, but the interactive shortcut reference does not mention this shortcut or its behavior.

That leaves Windows users without documentation that Ctrl+Backspace deletes the word to the left of the cursor, and without any indication that this behavior changed in v2.1.113.

Suggested Improvement

Add a Windows-specific row to the "Text editing" table in interactive-mode, for example:

Ctrl+Backspace (Windows) — Delete previous word

If the behavior depends on terminal support or only applies in specific Windows terminal environments, note that constraint inline in the same row.

Impact

Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
