Ctrl movement support in commit message input

[KrekoG]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I'm writing a commit message and change my mind (totally not because I made a typo or anything), I'm forced to delete part of the content of the input by pressing backspace like a caveman.

Describe the solution you'd like
It would be an absolute blast, if we could use ctrl to navigate faster, for example:

• ctrl + 'left arrow' could jump to the beginning of the previous word
• ctrl + 'right arrow' could jump to the next word ending
• ctrl + 'backspace' could delete to the previous word beginning
• ctrl + 'delete' could delete to the next word ending

Describe alternatives you've considered
Nothing. To be honest, I'm not a very smart man.

Additional context
Rhinos are cool.

This seems to come frequently, so maybe we need to document this better.

Try alt (or option on Mac) instead of ctrl for left/right arrow, and ctrl-w for deleting the previous word. There's no binding for deleting the next word, sorry.

You may also like ctrl-u to delete from the cursor position to the start of the line, and ctrl-k to delete to the end of the line.

Oh. That is still pretty decent. Although it makes me wonder, is there a particular reason it is bound to alt instead of ctrl?
(I'll learn it over time anyway, just curious. Also, feel free to close the request I suppose :) )

Besides, option is standard for this on Mac, so even if it were technically possible, we'd have to make it platform-specific I suppose.
