gemini-cli - 💡(How to fix) Fix backspace delete whole word [1 comments, 2 participants]

TL;DR

The issue can likely be resolved by adjusting the keyboard settings or terminal configuration to change the backspace behavior.

Guidance

• Check the terminal emulator settings to see if there's an option to change the backspace key behavior from deleting a whole word to deleting a single character.
• Verify if the issue occurs in other terminals or text editors to determine if it's a client-specific problem.
• Look for any keyboard shortcuts or settings that might be overriding the default backspace behavior.

Notes

The exact solution may depend on the specific terminal emulator or operating system being used, which is not specified in the issue.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Adjusting the terminal settings or keyboard configuration is likely the most straightforward way to resolve the issue, as there is no clear indication of a version upgrade being necessary.
