Summary

Executing glab mr create asks you for certain data. One field the command asks for is the "Title" of the MR. If you start writing your title, but then want to remove a complete word, there are certain terminal emulators (such as iTerm2) that allow you to delete complete words by pressing Option + Backspace.

When pressing that key combination, the glab command will crash with a message saying:

What is the current bug behavior?

glab crashes

What is the expected correct behavior?

Allow the sequence to be received by glab and delete the complete word; at least don't crash.

Possible fixes

I'm not familiar with the code, but I'm open to help if necessary to fix this with a bit of hints of where the error may be.
