Ctrl+\ sends ASCII 28 (File Separator) in legacy terminals. This is
commonly used as SIGQUIT in Unix.
Ctrl+] sends ASCII 29 (Group Separator) in legacy terminals. This is
commonly used as the telnet escape character.
Ctrl+_ sends ASCII 31 (Unit Separator) in legacy terminals. On US
keyboards, - and _ are on the same physical key, so this also functions
as an alias for Ctrl+-.
Undo snapshots are captured for all edit operations:
- Word insertion, backspace, forward delete
- Word/line deletion (Ctrl+W, Ctrl+U, Ctrl+K, Alt+D)
- Yank/yank-pop, paste, autocomplete completion
- Cursor movement starts a new undo unit
- setText() pushes snapshot when content changes
Additionally, history browsing captures the undo state on first entry.
Adds deleteWordForward action bound to Alt+D, which deletes from cursor
to the end of the current word and saves to kill ring for later yanking.
Consecutive forward kills append to the same kill ring entry.
Add kill ring functionality with:
- Ctrl+W/U/K save deleted text to kill ring
- Ctrl+Y yanks (pastes) most recent deletion
- Alt+Y cycles through kill ring (after Ctrl+Y)
- Consecutive deletions accumulate into single entry
In legacy terminal mode (non-Kitty protocol), Alt+key is sent as ESC
followed by the key character. This was only supported for specific keys
(space, backspace, arrows) but not for regular letters.
Add support for Alt+letter sequences to enable keybindings like Alt+Y.
