Option+Delete should delete previous word

[audreyfeldroy]

Similarly I keep pressing Option + Delete to delete previous word and it doesn't work, not sure how to resolve

Claude Opus 4.6's Interpretation

No custom word-deletion handling. Textual's TextArea may not support Option+Delete (the standard macOS "delete previous word" shortcut).

Possible solutions

• Intercept Option+Delete in _on_key and implement word deletion
• Check if Textual has a built-in binding that just needs enabling
• Also consider Option+Left/Right for word navigation if those don't work either
