Description
Description of the problem or steps to reproduce
I prefer to use the Natural Text Editing preset for iTerm2 because it lets me do things like AltBackspace to DeleteWordLeft outside of micro. In fact, it lets me do a lot of cursor manipulation that I just can't do with the Default preset. However, this completely borks the keybindings for micro.
What I would love to have is some sort of built-in default keybinding option that works with the Natural Text Editing preset. Even just something as simple as a curated and working keybinding override that could just go into the wiki or something, for people like me to copy and paste into our keybindings.json, I could live with that.

Research direction
Start by reviewing micro's existing keybinding configuration and the keybindings.json format; the issue names no source file, test, or entry point. Determine whether the intended result is a built-in Natural Text Editing preset or a documented working override, then verify that the resulting bindings do not conflict with the preset.
