Description

Summary

In vim, while typing in insert mode, one can press Ctrl-w to erase the last typed word without leaving insert mode. This is not implemented in jupyter-vim-binding.

(CTRL-w is typically closes the current browser tab).

Environment

  • Operating system : Ubuntu 17.10 (Gnome)
  • Web browser : Firefox 59.0.2
  • Jupyter Notebook : 5.4.1
  • jupyter-vim-binding : v2.1.0

Contributor guide

Research direction
Implement Ctrl w keybinding in insert mode to delete the word backward. Look for existing keybinding handling in the codebase, possibly in a handler for insert mode. Ensure it doesn't conflict with browser's default Ctrl w (close tab). Consider using CodeMirror's commands or custom event listener.
