What issue are you seeing?
When I push CTRL + DELETE in the CODEX CLI it only deletes one letter instead of full words.
What steps can reproduce the bug?
- Open Codex by running command "codex" in terminal
- Write "hello world" in codex terminal (without hitting enter)
- Move the text cursor/caret to the first part of the line; (i.e before the word hello)
- Push CTRL + DELETE
- Notice that only one letter is deleted at a time
What is the expected behavior?
Expected behavior is that it would delete the full word "hello" when clicking CTRL + DELETE one time and then "world" in the next.
