Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/4534

Originally assigned to: @joshyan1 on GitHub.

What is the issue?

In ollama run <model> mode, pressing Ctrl+Backspace should delete a whole word backwards.

To implement this, "listen" for "Ctrl+H" presses (as that's what Ctrl+Backspace is sent as)

Hey @DeflateAwning, Ctrl + Backspace (Ctrl + H) maps to just Backspace in Ollama. If you want to delete the previous word, please use Ctrl + W which should already implemented. I've added documentation of the shortcut in /? shortcuts

Makes sense, thanks! Any reason not to have both act as a backspace?

Sorry, can you clarify which two you're referring to? Currently Ctrl + W removes the previous word and Ctrl + H is a backspace. As you said, Ctrl + Backspace is received as Ctrl + H so Ctrl + Backspace is simply a backspace as well.

Ctrl+H gets sent when you press Ctrl+Backspace in most terminals (at least in my experience). Ctrl+Backspace (which is sent as Ctrl+H) should remove an entire word (to be compliant with every other software and OS out there).

Thanks for the feedback. Ctrl + W is generally used in terminal based applications for this shortcut so we've decided to use it as well.

I'm sorta torn here because generally speaking Ctrl-H is backspace. Ctrl-Backspace will do a Ctrl-W in most desktop programs, but it doesn't do that in my terminal and just maps to Ctrl-H by default.

Hmm, have never seen that behaviour, but have also not really done any low-level key handling outside of terminals and terminal UIs.
