Control + Backspace does not delete the word

[prattay56]

Ctrl-Backspace will not delete the entire word to the left of your cursor in one keystroke.

I suspect this works in powershell, I doubt it works in command, and is unlikely to work in Linux/WSL you can try typing this: TERM=xterm to the environment, and see if it helps.

I believe this is a funtion that must be implemented by the terminal you are connecting to and not this software.

Correct me if I am wrong. I do personally love that shortcut, and other similar ones. But because of that, I have looked into this in the past.

Hello Andy,

It works with Windows powershell both legacy and new tabbed version.

Yes - that’s what I said. It’s environment dependent- not fluent dependent

Hello Andy,

My environment is Windows 10. In this Fluent Terminal 2nd in the Apps category - below SS. This doesnot work. However other terminal in windows as mentioned, work. I was expecting the same with Fluent Terminal in windows 10 as well. Let me know if you or the team plans to include this binding in the future if not considered as a Bug. [image: image.png]

Hello Team, wanted to follow up this. Let me know if you were able to repro this.

Hello Team, wanted to follow up this. Any update?

This is an xterm.js issue. Go ahead and give it a shot on their demo implementation on their homepage. https://xtermjs.org/

Using Fluent Terminal today and came across the same issue. As an alternative, you can set jumping-between-words shortcut for the PowerShell, and use control + shift + leftarrow to select words.

Install PSReadline

$ Install-Module -Name PSReadLine -AllowPrerelease

Open your powershell profile:

$ notepad $PROFILE

Add these lines:

Import-Module PSReadLine
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key "Ctrl+RightArrow" -Function ForwardWord
Set-PSReadLineKeyHandler -Key "Ctrl+LeftArrow" -Function BackwardWord

Save and close. Now you are ready to go!

[lwbt]

For this specific issue I started to use ctrl+right-arrow and delete the word with alt+d, this also works on PowerShell with PSReadLine. PSReadLine also offers the same functionality as ctrl+backspace with ctrl+w.

Could someone do a bit of cleanup on the open issues?

• also about PSReadLine: https://github.com/felixse/FluentTerminal/issues/126

It looks like this is going nowhere without an upstream bug report that can be tracked, if the issue really exist upstream. But I have doubt that it does, comments by some here referring to "upstream" without a linked issue is a non-constructive blame game to me.

To me it looks more like an implementation issue of the component after reading through this thread: https://github.com/xtermjs/xterm.js/issues/1179
