Clear the characters before the current cursor position in Zsh
Solution 1:
Bash and zsh work slightly different here. In zsh, CTRL + U clears the entire line instead.
In your configuration .zsh put this lines:
bindkey -e
bindkey \^U backward-kill-line
You can use
$ bindkey
to list all of your keyboard shortcuts in zsh.
BTW: in bash you will print all bindkey with the following command:
bind -P
So no cheat sheets are necessary!
Solution 2:
In zsh, Alt+W deletes the from the cursor back to the beginning of the current word.
