Installation

To install use pip:

xpip install xontrib-whole-word-jumping
# or: xpip install -U git+https://github.com/xonsh/xontrib-whole-word-jumping

Usage

xontrib load whole_word_jumping
  • Control+left/right: Jump to previous/next whole word
  • Control+backspace: Delete to beginning of whole word
  • Control+delete: Delete to end of whole word
  • Shift+delete: Delete whole word

Alt+Left/Right/Delete/Backspace remain unmodified:

  • Alt+left/right: Jump to previous/next token
  • Alt+backspace: Delete to beginning of token
  • Alt+delete: Delete to end of token

Known issues

Some terminals cannot differentiate between Backspace and Control+Backspace. In this case, users can set $XONSH_WHOLE_WORD_CTRL_BKSP = False to skip configuration of the Control+Backspace key binding.
