These work in most programs. You cam also use ctrl + bksp to backspace a full word
I'd believe Shift+Left and Shift+Right, but I doubt most programs support multicursor.
"Most programs" as in "most IDEs", maybe; Visual Studio, Eclipse, Micro and Kate do not, or at the very least not with those key combinations.
It works in web browsers. And Libre office. Try it
I don't have LibreOffice installed, but on Firedragon (a fork of Floorp (based on Firefox)) CTRL+SHIFT+DOWN behaves the same as SHIFT+DOWN, with no selection split; CTRL+D also has nothing to do with selection.
I meant that holding ctrl+left/right or bs/del acts on a word object rather than a character. Same with ctrl+shift+left/right. I use this to select and cut words without moving my hand to the mouse. Mostly writing emails in outlook on Firefox.
Appologies if there was some misunderstanding.
