From #10 :

Side question: do you have an idea why backspace works on one device but not the other? No issue on my phone with hardware keyboard and Ubuntu chroot, but it just prints "^?" on my real Linux computer running Solus.

It might be related: Ctrl + Left or Right outputs a character instead of jumping the cursor through words. There probably are other issues like this. People who want more advanced shortcut support with use their own $EDITOR anyway (for instance I use micro), but perhaps the basic standard keybindings like the above could be fixed.

So jumping over words is currently not supported by nmail. Essentially the benchmark for nmail's built-in editor is the pine/alpine editor, which - I think - does not support this (it's really quite basic). Support could be added, but I prefer if you'd log it as a separate feature request. Thanks!

I reported #27 to at the minimum properly document what the built-in editor (currently) supports.
