Describe the solution you'd like?

I searched in the issues and in the discussions but I didn't find exactly what I was looking for.

Most terminals follow the OS text editing, for example, on the Terminal (macOS), I can type something and navigate through this phrase using `option + left/right` or maybe go to the beginning/end of the line using `command + left/right`.

On iTerm2, we have an option to enable this behavior called [`Natural text Editing`](https://gitlab.com/gnachman/iterm2/-/issues/9806) but I didn't find anything like that on Wrap.

I tried different shortcuts but none did what I wanted to.

If you don't have this option, then it'd be a huge feature. In case you do, I'd love to have better documentation about how to enable that.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Well, yes and no. I can erase a word by removing char by char with `delete`. However, it would be amazing if I could use my muscle memory to erase a full word with `option + delete`

Hey @raulfdm, you can still get this if you enable it system-wide.

Although this enables the HOME and END buttons, I noticed it also enables word movement via ⌥← and ⌥→. You need to reboot your mac for this to take effect (reboot/restart, not logout).

If it still doesn't work, then you need Karabiner Elements with its vast list of mods.

If you go with Karabiner, please beware which modifications you choose, as they might conflict with the ones set in Warp.

+1 Wish Warp to support the Nature Text Editing like iterm2 I felt like the Warp terminal operations were not convenient.
