YSK: Holding CTRL while navigating or deleting text does it per word

Why YSK: Makes editing text a lot easier.

Hold CTRL while pressing the arrow keys or the backspace button to move/delete an entire word at once.

am I the only one who thought everyone already knew this? Especially Ctrl + Backspace. I don't remember the last time I erased a word character by character

Not too long ago I found out my comp sci classmate didn't know about ctrl + tab and alt + tab. I'm not too surprised anymore. I've settled with the fact that most people I meet are normie tech bros who aren't too knowledgeable about how to use computers.
