I use ctrl-backspace in MATLAB Editor (MATLAB 2015a) to remove the previous word, but it doesn't work in the command window. I tried changing it in Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts, but there doesn't seem to be the option to bind it to "Remove Previous Word" in the Command Window. In the attached image, you can see that it is set to work in the MATLAB Editor, but when clicking the down-arrow next to where it says MATLAB Editor, it does not show any other options.

This seems like a very common shortcut used by many Windows programs, and it's strange that it should only be allowed in the editor. If it's actually not allowed, why? Is there a workaround?

Thanks!

It's amazing that there is still no fix for this. Mathworks is really intent on driving away programmers.

Same problem here. How annoying! Anybody from Matlab reading this, please consider making this change. This is affecting my workflow with Matlab.

I totally agree. This is very annoying!

Here's a decent work-around I came up with:

Go to your keyboard shortcut preferences (Home tab>Environment group>Preferences>Keyboard>Shortcuts).

In the searchbar, search for:

Ctrl+Shift+Left (Selection Previous Word) and add the shortcut Ctrl+Backspace only to the Command Window tool.

Ctrl+Shift+Right (Selection Next Word) and add the shortcut Ctrl+Delete only to the Command Window tool.

These shorcuts will highlight the text you wish to remove. Simply tap either Backspace or Delete one more time to remove them.

Not that I know of. Control-delete to delete the next word doesn't work either.

What I've observed is, sometimes it seems to work, and sometimes it just doesn't. (I'm on r2019a) When it doesn't for some reason, restarting MATLAB makes it work again.
