5th March 2025
Instead of deleting one letter at a time, use this shortcut to remove entire words instantly.
How to:
– Place the cursor anywhere in a text field (email, document, browser).
– Press Ctrl + Backspace to delete the entire word before the cursor.
– Press Ctrl + Delete to delete the word in front of the cursor.
– This makes text editing much quicker.
