I have just discovered that when you hold down the ‘Option’ key and the ‘Delete’ key, it completely erases that last word. It can be very useful when writing in a word processor, blogging, and basically everywhere else in Mac OS X.
I don’t know wether this is a really basic tip, but I just found out about this cool keyboard command, and maybe some of you can use it in your daily (Mac) life.
