keyboardmacbook promacos
At work we use Macbooks, so I am trying to adapt 🙂
I am using to many things, one of them is doing Ctrl+Delete in Mac OSX (In IntelliJ IDEA).
What I expect to happen, that works in Windows and on another external keyboard (Mac one!) is that when you press ctrl+delete, the left most word is deleted.
This does not happen on Mac, I could not find any other key combination to do this.
I need to functionality to quickly move around my code, please help.
My Mac version is 10.12.5
Yo ! Man, I got the best thing for you.
Just type some of your characters of word & press F5 & see the magic, It is what you want. Suppose your not getting the word rub some & get what you want.
Here is snap-shot of what you want. ( source of lots of shortcut keys )
Suppose, I am a user, I would do as follows.
simple & short just F5 does all for you, no need to press Cmd+: and then get correct one from list. It will give you list on the spot.
Here's how you can get ⌃ Control+arrow keys to work like you describe. Copy the following property list into ~/Library/KeyBindings/DefaultKeyBinding.dict (you can create the directory if it doesn't already exist):
{
"^\UF703" = ("moveWordForward:", "moveWordForward:", "moveWordBackward:");
"^$\UF703" = ("moveWordForwardAndModifySelection:", "moveWordForwardAndModifySelection:", "moveWordBackwardAndModifySelection:");
}
This will set up ⌃ Control+arrow to navigate to the beginning of the next word (by using OS X's normal navigation three times: to the end of the current word, end of the next word, then back to the beginning of the next word). I also included a version that works with ⇧ Shift so you can select text as you go.
Caveat: this will only work in Cocoa apps, but I think the normal ⌥ Option+arrow navigation does too. Also, make sure to relaunch your apps!

The keyboard shortcut to delete the word to the left of the insertion point is, on a Mac keyboard:
OptionDelete
On a Windows keyboard use: AltBackspace
I use both Windows and macOS on a regular basis and noticed that some keyboard shortcuts that use Control in Windows work with Option in macOS, for example:
Delete the word to the left/right of the insertion point:
[On keyboards that don't have delete⌦ (Forward Delete) use FnDelete instead.]
Move the insertion point to the beginning/end of the previous word:
Extend text selection to the beginning/end of the current word:
