If you enable the Emacs key theme for GTK on Linux you can use Ctrl-W instead along with the other Unix / Emacs style key bindings like Ctrl-A to go the start of the a line and Ctrl-E to go the end, similar to the default key bindings in Zsh and Bash too.
.config/gtk-3.0/settings.ini
[Settings]
gtk-key-theme-name = Emacs
It's respected by a fair number of non-GTK applications like Chromium too. The one bad thing is you get used to Ctrl-W and then you're on Windows and accidentally murder tabs with it.

Select all is instead Ctrl-/ (works without it too). Can still use most of the standard stuff like ctrl-arrows and ctrl-shift-arrows.
