## Installation

To install use pip:

```bash

xpip install xontrib-whole-word-jumping

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

```

## Usage

```bash

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.
