## 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.
