Arrgh... Ok, so the good news is that I checked the archives; the bad news is that I checked them after reading:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-bash/2005-08/msg00003.html trying ^x ^r does indeed make it work for that line. jazz:$ stty -a speed 38400 baud; rows 38; columns 80; line = 140; intr = ^C; quit = ^\; erase = ^?; kill = ^U; eof = ^D; eol = <undef>; eol2 = <undef>; swtch = <undef>; start = ^Q; stop = ^S; susp = ^Z; rprnt = ^R; werase = ^W; lnext = ^V; flush = ^O; min = 1; time = 0; I would still like to know if there's a way to bind ^W to backward-kill-word within bash, so if anyone has suggestions, I'd appreciate them. w _______________________________________________ Bug-bash mailing list Bug-bash@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-bash
