Delete a whole word at once

Stop holding Backspace. Delete word by word instead of letter by letter.

⏱ 10s

  1. On Windows and Linux, press Ctrl+Backspace to delete the word before the cursor.
  2. On a Mac, press Option+Delete.
  3. Add the arrow keys the same way to jump the cursor one word at a time: Ctrl+← / Option+←.
Try it now: Type a sentence anywhere and delete it one word at a time.
