Method deleteTokenBefore

src/utils/Cursor.ts:912–944

* Deletes a token before the cursor if one exists. * Supports pasted text refs: [Pasted text #1], [Pasted text #1 +10 lines], * [...Truncated text #1 +10 lines...] * * Note: @mentions are NOT tokenized since users may want to correct typos * in file paths. Use Ctrl/Cmd+backspace for w

()

   * Only triggers when cursor is at end of token (followed by whitespace or EOL).
