Also Ctrl + w to delete one word backwards (which is what OP wants to do).

Edit: Nvm I misread the post, deleting is not what OP wants to do. Still gonna keep this because Ctrl + w is easily the readline shortcut I use the most.

While I haven’t ascended to fully cursive coding, I do actually enjoy Fantasque Sans for this very reason.

It manages to kind of connect the letters in some ways that my eyes can better see single words as “tokens”. After using it for a while, going back to a regular monospaced font looks like a speadsheet of unconnected letters.

So true, I never quite understood where that is coming from though.

More like opening a github issue when you haven’t read the docs
