Many users delete text the hard way-character by character. Fortunately, there are many editing shortcuts, and I'd like to share two that transform Backspace and Delete into deleting machines. Ctrl+Backspace Pressing Backspace deletes the characters to the left of the insertion point, one at a time. When you need to delete an entire word, press Ctrl+Backspace. This shortcut deletes text to the left of the insertion point one word at a time instead of one character at a time. For instance, to delete the last four words in a paragraph, including the ending period character, you'd hold down Ctrl and press Backspace five times. (Word counts a punctuation mark as a word.) Ctrl+Delete Pressing Delete removes the characters to the right of the insertion point, one character at a time.
![]()
To delete several characters to the right, at once, press Ctrl+Delete. This combo deletes all the characters to the right of the insertion point in the current word. For instance, to remove cut in the word shortcut, you'd position the insertion point between the t and the c, and press Ctrl+Delete. What deleting shortcuts do you use?
