There is a #xmpp client named #gajim. They have keyboard shortcuts. One of them is CTRL U to delete the currently typed message.

First: Why the fuck would anyone want a keyboard shortcut for that?

Second: I often use CTRL SHIFT U to enter Unicode characters. You'll never guess what happens every now and then…

Oh, and CTRL ↑ edits the previous message, and in the process, also deletes the message I'm typing. I use CTRL ←/→ to jump between words, and … yup.

What is your favorite XMPP client?

@nicoco Thank you. I have edited `"win.input-clear": ["<Primary>U"]`. Do you happen to know how to edit the “correct the last message” shortcut (by default <Primary>Up)? It's not in the sample shortcuts.json.

@nicoco
Override for correcting messages would be 'win.correct-message'.
