In vim, how do I delete a word?

Question

I have a big bear in my bed.

Suppose I have the cursor on "bear", in the "e" position, how would I delete the word "bear" completely?

Answer 1

You could maybe check this out.. delete word after or around cursor in VIM. Seems similar to what you need..

Normal mode:

    daw : delete the word under the cursor    
    caw : delete the word under the cursor and put you in insert mode
