Control + backspace

Hi,

In my work I get paid for the number of words I type, so the faster I type the more I earn per hour. Essential to increasing the number of words I type per hour is using keyboard shortcuts in word processing, presentation and other software in which I work. One major shortcut is Control+backspace to delete an entire word. KeyHero does not recognize when I delete a word this way and makes me delete then re-enter the last space I used before allowing me continue to type without "errors." We are not type on typewriters, so please allow recognition of this essential typing shortcut in KeyHero.
I think one of the main problems with what you're asking for here is that it is not universal. Not every computer can use that shortcut. For example I'm on a Mac and that shortcut is Alt+Delete.

That also brings up other kinds of editing methods that would have to be allowed, such as being able to click to move the cursor to where you want to be. Or other handy shortcuts like (for you) using ctrl+arrow key left/right to move between words for navigation.

Just my two cents.
