From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

29 years here, get my first computer in 2011 after using it sometimes in my sister's house. Never used ctrl+backspace in my life and did not know it existed. Edit maybe you can try something like that? https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/shortkeys/
There's also Ctrl+delete which deletes the word after the cursor.
Dude stop blowing my mind
