What

The prompt editor gained forward-word, backward-word, kill-word and backward-kill-word operations, and deleting to end of line now stores the removed text so it can be yanked back instead of being thrown away.

Details
  • Delete-word-before and delete-WORD-before were rewritten on top of a shared killRange helper, as was delete-to-end-of-line.
  • Placeholder spans in the prompt are still snapped out of at both ends of a motion.
Evidence

backwardKillWord()

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
