Research direction

Reproduce the behavior in Warp by navigating command history with the up key, then trying escape-backspace and command-backspace. Trace the terminal input and history-handling entry points to determine where the whole command is cleared, and verify that only the final word is removed while browsing history.

Describe the solution you'd like?
When using <up> key and browsing previous commands - using <esc><backspace> (to remove last word) empties entire string. 

Alternative would be to re-learn and use <cmd>+<backspace> but this has identical effect.
