Enable CTRL/CMD + Backspace to delete entire word left of cursor on layer/folder names & text boxes which would greatly increase workflow / organization speeds in After Effects and Premiere. Currently when you hit the keyboard command you insert what's either an unknown character or just a box that reads as a space when you close the edit, which isn't as useful and if that's a needed command it could be assigned to something that isn't already a standard and regular use command within an OS. So at the very least being able to reassign the command would be extremely useful but it doesn't show up in the keyboard commands as an option.

On Windows, if you hold Ctrl+Shift+Backspace, it will delete the text on the left of the cursor in chunks which is pretty fast. I'm not sure about Mac but I guess there could be something similar
