Keyboard combo to quickly delete last word or entire line
Authored by: fbitterlich on Oct 18, '11 09:35:43AM

Generally, pressing <alt> when doing most anything that would normally apply to one letter, it will apply to one word. For example:
<alt> + <left>/<right>: Move left/right one word
<alt> + <shift> + <left>/<right>: Select one word left/right
<alt> + <backspace>: Delete one word to the left
<alt> + <delete>: Delete one word to the right.

And using the <cmd> key instead of <alt> will mostly extend that to the beginning/end of the current line.
