If I literally type Escape then Delete, it does the correct action and deletes only one word token up to the next forward slash.įinal Edit: Figured it out! I needed to add a custom key binding in VSCode to do the correct action. Looks like what I am expecting is for ⌥ + Backspace to send ESC + Delete, but it is instead sending ^W. You can reuse and modify the matched line using the back reference parameter. You can also use conditions to match the line before modifying or removing using the regular expressions. Regardless as to what that option is set to, when I "delete-left" a word, I am still expecting to only delete until the next forward slash.Įdit 2: Found more info here. Ansible lineinfile module is helpful when you want to add, remove, modify a single line in a file. Though this seems to still not fix the issue for me. So maybe I just need a way to configure my left ⌥ key to send a meta character in the integrated VSCode terminal to get the functionality I expect?Įdit: Looks like I found VSCode has a setting for. Hyper: By default, this acts the same as iTerm2 and will delete one word in a directory path.There is a configuration option to have ⌥ act as a Meta key, causing it to delete one word in a directory path as I expect. Meaning ⌥ + backspace will delete only a single character. ctrl+r - reverse search through history, use repeatedly to search further back. Option-D (available when Use Option as Meta key is selected) Delete backward to the beginning of the word. terminal.app: By default, left option is unescaped. ctrl+u - delete from start of line to cursor (doesn't seem to work in letes entire line) ctrl+y - brings deleted line back. Move the insertion point backward one word.
I briefly checked a few other terminals I have installed. By default, iTerm 2 is configured to send Esc+ for the left ⌥ key.
#Iterm delete word mac#
The terminal I am using on Mac is iTerm2. So maybe this is off topic from this issue?
An extra clarification from before, I am actually referring to ⌥ + Backspace (option + backspace), not Alt + Backspace.
