      Cleaning up the shortcuts in text controls, I found that users can delete the word to the left of the caret by using CMD-BACKSPACE. Unfortunately, this key combination is reserved for deleting the line to the left of the caret on Mac.

      We should use native shortcut instead: OPTION-BACKSPACE.
