The Console prompt uses the Codemirror editor.

Option-D (aka Alt-D) is a keyboard shortcut which deletes text from the cursor to the end of the word:

https://github.com/WebKit/WebKit/blob/fbe4a30494efb2f9a31d2a6c2866780889869737/Source/WebInspectorUI/UserInterface/External/CodeMirror/codemirror.js#L6321

There are many other keyboard shortcuts which will run editor actions instead of typing in a character.

The reason you don't see the effect is probably because you're trying to type the dollar sign at the start of an empty line.

I don't know if Web Inspector can detect keyboard layout.
