I pasted method into the editor but the formatting was off and there were too many spaces before the method name. I used Ctrl+Home to return to the beginning of the line and the pressed Ctrl+Delete with the intention of deleting all whitespace and then pressing my tab key to indent. Unfortunately, the Ctrl+Delete deleted all the whitespace and the method name. I would expect it to delete all whitespace up to, but not including, the method name.

This works as expected for me:

|       function

Pressing ctrl+delete deletes the whitespace up to function for me.

Could you please try running with code --disable-extensions?

@alexandrudima, you are right, it was the Visual Studio Keymap extension that was causing this. Disabling this extension fixed the issue. This can be closed.

Sorry, I didn't realize the vs-keybindings extension was managed under the same repo as vscode. I'm reopening this.

@rebornix I don't think Visual Studio deletes to the word end when pressing ctrl+delete:

            {
                "key": "ctrl+delete",
                "command": "deleteWordEndRight"
            }

The issues still exists, the same happen with CTRL+Backspace - it intercepts it in Git message box and sends it to active file editor: microsoft/vscode#35431

I have the same issue when I CTRL+Backspace in the Search textbox

This is happening again in 2024 guys! Why? I disabled all extensions and then ctrl-delete deletes the whitespace and the word.
