Currently A-left move one word left and the behavior will be more consistent for people coming GUI world if the key was changed to control given that both browsers and editors like vscode uses C-left right by default to move word rather than alt.

Ctrl-based shortcuts are common in numerous applications.
This change:
- Adds Ctrl+{Left/Right/Backspace/Delete} for word-wise movement/deletion in prompt, picker, …
- Removes Alt-Left and Alt-Right in prompt, picker, …
- Adds Alt-Delete in insert mode for forward word deletion
In some terminals, Alt-Backspace might not work because it is ambigous.
See: helix-editor#2193 (comment)
Hence, Alt alternative is not removed.

given that both browsers and editors like vscode uses C-left right by
default to move word rather than alt.
I wanted to change A-backspace to C-backspace as well but I don't seemed to be able to do that. I saw this when looking at #2131
cc @QiBaobin since he did the initial version but not sure why he did it that way, maybe consistency with alt-backspace?
