Ok, I actually recorded a macro thats halfway decent. All it does is select the current word and deletes it. Not perfect to be sure, but in most instances where I'm typing away and want to delete the last x chunks it does the trick.

opt-delete doesn't work the same way; it only deletes the characters of a word preceding it, so if your cursor is in the middle of a word, it will only delete the whole word.
