Delete Current Word in IntelliJ IDEA/Android Studio

Question

How to delete a current word(word at a caret)?

Below solution forces to put caret at start or end of the word, but that is not very convenient.

Ctrl-BACKSPACE
Delete to word end from caret.
Ctrl-DEL
Delete to word start from caret.

Other solution is to select word using Ctrl + W and then delete it but it is also two steps process.

Is there any shortcut or setting which can delete current word in a single step?

Answer 1

IDEA macro feature is usable here:

• Open an editor and place the caret in a word
• Main menu: Edit -> Macros -> Start Macro Recording
• Press Ctrl-W, then Delete
• Main menu: Edit -> Stop Macro Recording
• A dialog pops up where you can enter a macro name like "Delete Word at Caret"
• Assign a keyboard shortcut: Main menu: File -> Settings, then Keymap -> Macros, "Delete Word at Caret"
