feat(prompt): Home/End/Ctrl+K/Alt-word shortcuts#123
Merged
Conversation
Long-time CLI users reach for Home/End and Ctrl+K muscle-memory keys that were never bound. Reuses the existing startOfLine/endOfLine helpers and the previousWordStart helper used by Ctrl+W. Ctrl+U keeps its non-standard "clear all" behavior — see comment.

Closes #121.
Wires the readline keys long-time CLI users reach for and which were
silently dropped by the prompt input.
Added
Home/End— start / end of current line (joins the existingCtrl+A/Ctrl+E)Ctrl+K— kill from cursor to end of current lineAlt+B/Alt+F— jump cursor backward / forward by one wordAlt+Backspace— delete previous word (alias of the existingCtrl+W)Not changed
Ctrl+Ukeeps Reasonix's "clear whole buffer" behavior, not readline's "kill to start of line". The existing comment inmultiline-keys.tsexplains why — clearing a large paste needs an ergonomic single key.Verification
