Shortcuts to delete and select text in Terminal  #619

Description

Problem

The shortcuts to delete texts in terminal are inconsistent, ctrl + del works perfectly, but ctrl + backspaces in terminal is alt + backspace, this is a little confusing when using terminal and ctrl + shift + arrow keys don't work at all

Proposal

In (most) text editors, browsers and applications, you can use:

  1. ctrl + backspace to quick delete the word left to the cursor
  2. ctrl + delete to quick delete the word right to the cursor
  3. ctrl + shift + arrow keys to select words or lines
