Keymaps of Ctrl-Del Cousins for Your Ease

Features

Ever found the Ctrl-Backspace shortcut and its similar counterparts to be inflexible or cumbersome to use?

Alt-Delete comes to rescue!

Alt-Delete provides keymaps of:

  • Ctrl-Backspace → Alt-Backspace
  • Ctrl-Delete → Alt-Delete
  • (shift+) Ctrl-LeftArrow → (shift+) Alt-[< / -]
  • (shift+) Ctrl-RightArrow → (shift+) Alt-[> / +]

Keymaps are also supported with multiple selections.

Unlike their Ctrl cousins, Alt-Keys will stop at CAPITAL characters:
eg. with Ctrl-Backspace, camelCase would be wiped out.
but with Alt-Backspace, camelCase would become camel.
