Support ctrl-w in the Snacks input

[mortymacs]

Hi,
When I try to remove a word in Snacks, similar to how LSP Rename works for renaming a variable, it just changes the focus to a different window. I'm not sure if this is an issue with my configuration or the input module.
So, how to enable text-related keys in the input?
My input config: https://github.com/mortymacs/dotfiles/blob/main/home-manager/common/nvim/lua/lua/misc.lua#L52-L57

This is what worked for me

input = {
  win = {
    keys = {
      i_del_word = { "<C-w>", "delete_word", mode = "i" },
    },
    actions = {
      delete_word = function()
        return "<cmd>normal! diw<cr><right>"
      end,
    },
  },
},

Awesome! thanks!

I'm trying to map this to Option + Backspace on MacOS but it doesn't work. Do you happen to know why?

    input = {
      win = {
        keys = {
          i_del_word = { "<M-BS>", "delete_word", mode = "i" },
        },
        actions = {
          delete_word = function()
            return "<cmd>normal! diw<cr><right>"
          end,
        },
      },
    },

Try adding i_del_word = { "<M-BS>", "delete_word", mode = "i", expr = true }.

I tried that but it didn't work. I wonder if it's because Snacks input can't recognize the Option key in MacOS as M. I have a keymap for <M-BS> in normal buffer insert mode and it works.

In case someone else arrives here with the same request and the proposed solution doesn't work, here is what worked for me:

input = {
  enabled = true,
  win = {
    border = "single",
    -- https://github.com/folke/snacks.nvim/discussions/376
    keys = {
      i_del_word = { "<C-w>", "delete_word", mode = "i" },
    },
    actions = {
      delete_word = function()
        vim.cmd("normal! diw<cr>")
      end,
    },
  },
},

Or add expr = true where you define the mapping with my previous answer. But both are equivalent.
