Smart Word Deletion with Ctrl+Backspace

The mod improves how Ctrl+Backspace works in command blocks. Instead of erasing everything back to the nearest space (which destroys NBT syntax), it now erases only complete words. This means you can delete individual NBT keys, values, or tags without mangling the surrounding braces and brackets.

Using Color Coding to Understand Nesting

NBT data is color-coded by nesting depth, making it visually clear which braces and brackets belong together. Before you delete anything, use the colors to identify which section you're actually modifying. This prevents accidentally removing a closing bracket that affects multiple levels of your data structure.

Manual Selection for Precision

When you need to remove or replace specific NBT values, use click-and-drag selection to highlight exactly what you want to change. Double-click to select a single word or value, then type to replace it. This gives you complete control and prevents accidental structural damage to your command.
