I am using iTerm as a terminal in my mac. I am not able to delete a word in command line for ex in command cd /path/to/dir, i want to delete just path word , then how can i do that in iTerm.
basically what is the shortcut to delete a word in iTerm.
I looked at https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/154292/iterm-going-one-word-backwards-and-forwards and fn+option+delete is just deleting a single character, not the whole word.

Control + W Using this keyboard combination will delete the word immediately before, or to the left of, the cursor.
To select text without using the mouse, press cmd-f to open the find field. Enter the beginning of the text you wish to copy and the find feature will select it in your window. Then press tab and the end of the selection will advance by a word. To move the beginning of the selection to the left, press shift-tab.
Customize with iTerm2Go to iTerm2 preferences with ⌘ + , then go into profiles > Text. Then, if you don't like the default color, and prefer something similar to the above, you can update the color scheme. There's the Solarized Dark theme which is popular, but I went Tango Dark.
Go to your iTerm preferences select "profiles" then "key" and change your presets in "Natural Text Editing"
It should work immediately after.
It works with iTerm version 3.3.12
Edit:
In version 3.4, there's a slight UI change.
So you need to go specifically to your iTerm preferences select Profiles > Keys > Key Mappings > Presets > Nature Text Editing
