This PR changes the "undo chat edits" keybinding on Linux to use Alt+Backspace instead of Ctrl+Backspace, similar to how it's already set for Windows.
The Issue
Ctrl+Backspace is used for
deleteWordLeft
in GUI apps on Linux (just as on Windows), so using this keybinding for "undo chat edits" creates a conflict.Changes Made
Modified keybindings in
KeepOrUndoAction
class:mac.primary
Modified keybindings in
AcceptRejectHunkAction
class:mac.primary
These changes maintain the same keyboard shortcuts on Mac, while ensuring both Windows and Linux use Alt+Backspace instead of Ctrl+Backspace.
Fixes #249990.
