You will see the same behavior with the emacs shortcut Ctrl-D on most system text areas, as well as in the terminal. I even added it as a Vim mapping in my config. While we're here: ^A - Home (beginning of line, A is the first letter of the alphabet) ^D - Delete (the character to the right of the cursor, or the one underneath the block cursor) ^E - End (end of line, E for End) ^T - Transpose (switch the characters left and right of the cursor, for example "acbd" with the cursor between "c" and "b" would become "abcd")
