       Description: In this blog post, I share a piece of code to revert a
       change in fish shell
       
       # Introduction
       
       In a recent change within fish shell, the shortcut to delete last words
       were replaced by "delete last big chunk" (I don't know exactly how it
       is called in this case) which is usually the default behavior on Mac OS
       "command" key vs "alt" key and I guess it is why it was changed like
       this on fish.
       
       Unfortunately, this broke everyone's habit and a standard keyboard do
       not even offer the new keybinding that received the old behavior.
       
       There is an open issue asking to revert this change.
       
  HTML GitHub fish project: Revert alt-backspace behaviour on non-macOS systems #12122
       
       I am using this snippet in `~/.config/fish/config.fish` to restore the
       previous behavior (the same as in other all other shell, where M-d
       deletes last word).  I build it from the GitHub issue comments, I had
       to add `$argv` for some reasons.
       
       ```
       if status is-interactive
        # Commands to run in interactive sessions can go here
       
        # restore delete behavior
        bind $argv alt-backspace backward-kill-word
        bind $argv alt-delete kill-word
        bind $argv ctrl-alt-h backward-kill-word
        bind $argv ctrl-backspace backward-kill-token
        bind $argv ctrl-delete kill-token
       end
       ```
