How to delete a whole word after the cursor in a Bash-like command-line tool?

Question

In command-line applications as the bash shell that implement readline-like line editing capabilities, there is a key binding for deleting a whole word before the cursor, which is by default Ctrl+W.

Is there a key binding for deleting a whole word after (to the right of) the cursor? If not, how can I achieve this?

Answer 1

Use Esc + D or Alt + D to delete the word on the right.
