How to kill word - Word и Excel - помощь в работе с программами

For example, my cursor (point) is at an arbitrary letter in the word «cursor». I want to delete (kill) that word such that it is copied to kill-ring.

The Emacs way to remove the word one is inside of to press M-backspace followed by M-d. That will kill the word at point and save it to kill ring (as one unit).

If the cursor is at the beginning or after the end of the word, only one of the two is sufficient. An Emacs user will typically move between words using commands such as forward-word (M-f) and backward-word (M-b), so they will be at the word boundary to begin with and thus rarely need to kill the word from the inside.

You could use this as a framework for killing various kinds of things at point:

(defun my-kill-thing-at-point (thing)
  "Kill the `thing-at-point' for the specified kind of THING."
  (let ((bounds (bounds-of-thing-at-point thing)))
    (if bounds
        (kill-region (car bounds) (cdr bounds))
      (error "No %s at point" thing))))

(defun my-kill-word-at-point ()
  "Kill the word at point."
  (interactive)
  (my-kill-thing-at-point 'word))

(global-set-key (kbd "s-k w") 'my-kill-word-at-point)

You can do that by moving to the beginning of the word (if not standing there already) by M-b, then deleting it with M-d. You can then press C-y to put it back. If you want to automate it, you can create a short elisp function and assign it to a key:

(global-set-key [24 C-backspace] ; C-x C-backspace
                (lambda () (interactive)
                  (save-excursion
                    (backward-word)
                    (kill-word 1)
                    (yank))))

How can I delete a word backward at the command line? I’m truly used to some editors deleting the last ‘word’ using Ctrl+Backspace, and I’d like that functionality at the command line too.

I am using Bash at the moment and although I could jump backward a word and then delete forward a word, I’d rather have this as a quick-key, or event as Ctrl+Backspace.

How can accomplish this?

Ctrl+W is the standard «kill word» (aka werase).
Ctrl+U kills the whole line (kill).

You can change them with stty.

-bash-4.2$ stty -a
speed 38400 baud; 24 rows; 80 columns;
lflags: icanon isig iexten echo echoe -echok echoke -echonl echoctl
        -echoprt -altwerase -noflsh -tostop -flusho pendin -nokerninfo
        -extproc -xcase
iflags: -istrip icrnl -inlcr -igncr -iuclc ixon -ixoff ixany imaxbel
        -ignbrk brkint -inpck -ignpar -parmrk
oflags: opost onlcr -ocrnl -onocr -onlret -olcuc oxtabs -onoeot
cflags: cread cs8 -parenb -parodd hupcl -clocal -cstopb -crtscts -mdmbuf
cchars: discard = ^O; dsusp = ^Y; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>;
        eol2 = <undef>; erase = ^?; intr = ^C; kill = ^U; lnext = ^V;
        min = 1; quit = ^; reprint = ^R; start = ^Q; status = <undef>;
        stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; time = 0; werase = ^W;
-bash-4.2$ stty werase ^p
-bash-4.2$ stty kill ^a
-bash-4.2$

Note that one does not have to put the actual control character on the line, stty understands putting ^ and then the character you would hit with control.

After doing this, if I hit Ctrl+P it will erase a word from the line. And if I hit Ctrl+A, it will erase the whole line.

In Ubuntu 18.04.4 pressing Ctrl+V and then Ctrl+Backspace reveals that the Ctrl+Backspace combination is written as ^H.

You can show all current terminal key combinations using stty -a. In this case we want to change werase to ^H which can be done with

stty werase ^H

For any other key you want to remap you would again see how to write the new combination using Ctrl+V followed by the combination.

And you can find the command name (such as werase) by looking at stty -a and looking for the key combination an action is currently bound to.

On Mac, you can use:

Surprisingly, esc then delete works on macOS too.

Also, if using iTerm2, you can update the default profile:

In Linux I’m used to press Ctrl—Backspace to delete the last word but I don’t know how to do it in Bash terminal.

In OS X I use Alt—Backspace to do the same thing.

Is there any way of making Bash recognize the Ctrl— or Alt—Backspace key combination to delete last word?

In Linux I use terminator as terminal emulator, in OSX I use iTerm2.

You can always use Ctrl—W. It deletes the word before the cursor and works in every Bash.

See here for a list of Bash keyboard shortcuts.

You just need to set Option as Meta key in iTerm’s preferences (Profiles » Keys).

backward-kill-word is bound to Meta-Rubout (i.e. Opt-Backspace) by default.

The same option exists (albeit less flexible) in Apple’s Terminal.app.

You can create a file .inputrc in your home directory and add this content inside:

"C-h": backward-kill-word

In terminator you can use the following «plugin», along with

[keybindings]
    kill_word = <Control>BackSpace

in your config file. This will map Ctrl—Backspace to ESC→DEL, another shorcut to delete last word.

answered Sep 17, 2013 at 7:56

As some have mentioned, this may also depend on your terminal emulator. For example in KDE’s Konsole, you can define the behavior of Ctrl+Backspace in the key bindings settings of the profile:

Set Backspace+Ctrl to the output Ex7f (default b)

You can just use Alt—DEL instead of the normal Strg—DEL.

In my C# application I use MailMeger in Word. I use Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word library.
And for Merge i use method Execute of MailMerge object.

But sometimes Winword hangs on method MailMerge.Execute
And then I want to kill this process WINWORD.EXE after 2 minutes of waiting
Now I do it so:

using WinWord = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word;

public static void MergeExec(WinWord.MailMerge wrdMailMerge)
{
MergeExecChecker mergeChecker = new MergeExecChecker(wrdMailMerge.Application);

System.Threading.TimerCallback timerDelegate = new System.Threading.TimerCallback(mergeChecker.TimeElapsedHandler);

// wait for 2 minutes
System.Threading.Timer timerMergeExec = new System.Threading.Timer(timerDelegate, null, 1000 * 60 * 2, 0);

wrdMailMerge.Execute(ref WordUtils.oFalse);

timerMergeExec.Dispose();

}

   private class MergeExecChecker
   {
       private WinWord.Application _wrdApp;
       private bool _timeElapsed = false;

       public MergeExecChecker(WinWord.Application wrdApp)
       {
          this._wrdApp = wrdApp;
       }

       // This method is called by the timer delegate.
       public void TimeElapsedHandler(object retVal)
       {
           this._timeElapsed = true;

System.Diagnostics.Process[] aProcWrd = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(«WINWORD»);

           foreach (System.Diagnostics.Process oProc in aProcWrd)
           {
               oProc.Kill();
           }
       }

}

But I think that this way don’t fit for me, i.e.:
System.Diagnostics.Process[] aProcWrd = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessesByName(«WINWORD»);

I want to create multithreading application and to kill process WINWORD for my wrdApp only, i.e. :

System.Diagnostics.Process myProcWrd = System.Diagnostics.Process.GetProcessById( processID );
myProcWrd.Kill();

But I don’t know how to receive processID from my Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application object
Help me please.
Whether there can be somebody can give me advice correct my approach in general ?

I came across this great slideshow by Patrick McLean on Slideshare (many thanks to Laura for the tip!)

As a big part of writing and, particularly, editing is removing redundant words, I thought you’d enjoy it as much as I did!

This is brilliant. Thanks for sharing. I’m sure I need to kill loads of words!

- For added impact, try screaming “die! Die!” as you delete them. Just try not to do it in public.

I thought about using this for my writing process course in the editing module of the course, but I finally decided against it. Gun violence and killing, even metaphorical, is too much of a risk. Maybe I’ll reconsider when/if our culture becomes more sane than it is now.
