[Nano-devel] [PATCH] New feature: Erase prev/next word if ctrl is held with backspace/delete

[Marco Diego Aurélio Mesquita]

The attached patch modifies nano so that, when ctrl is held, backspace
erases the previous word, while delete erases the next word. This is a
very common feature in many editors and is one of the few reaming that
I miss from gedit.

It was quickly hacked but seems to work fine on gnome-terminal and
xterm. I couldn't find the way to get the key codes for ctrl +
backspace nor  ctrl + delete; so, I determined it experimentally. It
would be nice to detect it the same way ctrl+arrows are detected. How
can I properly get the codes for ctrl + backspace and ctrl + delete?
