Editing shortcuts #18

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 9 years ago

When I'm going at a good 90WPM, a mistake often means I will type a full
word or two before I notice and stop myself and begin backspacing. This
takes a while.

In real life, most every editor has some sort of keyboard shortcut to
'delete backwards one word', so if I made a similar mistake in Emacs, I
would C-Backspace once or twice and restart *much* more quickly and
instinctively than I would with backspacing. Since Amphetype is intended to
help us be better typers in the real world and not in an artificial
restricted Amphetype-only benchmark, the lack of editing shortcuts is
unfortunate. A C-backspace would be nice!
