TL;DR

The issue might be related to the keyboard settings or terminal configuration, causing the backspace key to delete an entire word instead of a single character.

Guidance

  • Verify if the issue persists when using a different terminal or application to isolate the problem.
  • Check the keyboard settings in Windows to ensure that the backspace key is not configured to delete words instead of characters.
  • Investigate if there are any specific configuration options in the Windows Terminal or gemini-cli that could be causing this behavior.
  • Test the backspace key behavior in other terminals, such as PowerShell, to confirm if the issue is specific to the Windows Terminal.

Notes

The issue seems to be specific to the Windows Terminal and gemini-cli, and more information about the terminal configuration and keyboard settings might be necessary to provide a definitive solution.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Try using a different terminal or adjusting the keyboard settings in Windows to see if the issue can be resolved.
