> How is what you want different from pressing delete?
Compact and laptop keyboards; sometimes excluded, often poorly/inconsistently sized/positioned.
There's a much better chance of Ctrl+Backspace being a consistent movement independent of keyboard layout, so I can appreciate where the parent is coming from.
Those compact layouts that exclude a delete key typically replace it with Fn + Backspace.
I'm not saying there aren't scenarios where ctrl + backspace would be useful, however the majority of the time I'd argue that delete is available and should be used.
Is the desire for a ctrl + backspace chord coming from some other system where this is the standard keying?
