feat(term): uniformize word-wise movement and deletion (#2500)
Ctrl-based shortcuts are common in numerous applications. This change: - Adds Ctrl+{Left/Right/Backspace/Delete} for word-wise movement/deletion in prompt, picker, … - Removes Alt-Left and Alt-Right in prompt, picker, … - Adds Alt-Delete in insert mode for forward word deletion In some terminals, Alt-Backspace might not work because it is ambigous. See: https://github.com/helix-editor/helix/pull/2193#issuecomment-1105042501 Hence, Alt alternative is not removed.
