Backspace to delete whole query

[PaulGuy]

Hello everyone,

 

I've been a very long time user of Quicksilver and decided to give Alfred a try.

 

I'm loving Alfred thus far, but one thing is absolutely driving me mad:
I can't figure out how I can configure Alfred to delete the whole search query by hitting backspace a single time. And also I'm talking without any keyboard modifiers or pressing another key.

 

For a very long time, Quicksilver's default has been to delete the whole search query just by hitting backspace once. This is great because, if I type fast and do a typo, I can delete the whole search and start over again.

 

So for example, if I type:

Safrar

I can then hit the backspace once instead of 6 times and start typing "Safari" correctly.

 

How can I enable this option?

 

Hopefully this option exists.

 

Cheers!

@PaulGuy in Alfred, use cmd+backspace to clear the entire query. There is no way default way to reconfigure backspace to delete the entire query by itself.

 

Cheers,

You can't do that, I'm afraid. You can delete the entire query with the normal Mac shortcut ⌘⌫
