In Normal mode, you should be able to use Shift-Left as a modifier to the d

Tony, is there an alternative way to delete the previous word from
Command mode. I often i^w<esc> but if I could save some keystrokes I
would appreciate it. For that matter, what is the keyboard shortcut
for going _back_ one word?
Shift-Left, as I said. Or, by looking it up (by ":help <S-Left>" without
the quotes), you would have found b as a synonym.
Shift-Left is mapped by default to Previous Tab in Konsole, and I use
that feature often enough to not want to change it. That said, I work
on disparate servers (SSH) so I prefer to learn the 'right' VIM way as
opposed to remapping when I can.
Thanks.
The rightest of the "right" Vim ways is to RTFM.
Best regards,
Tony.
