Downstream issue: microsoft/vscode#11314

  • Support option+delete to delete previous word on macOS
  • Support ctrl+backspace to delete previous word on Windows/Linux

I don't believe you can configure this in your ~/.inputrc file since C0 DEL is sent regardless of whether alt was pressed or not.

This is one of those "safe defaults" that is probably good to have, I do think we need to look at how to make these defaults optional/configurable though (created #487). Here's how Terminal.app enables configuration: http://stackoverflow.com/a/29773694/1156119
