I support idea that ctrl-w should retain behaviour that it had all those years in libreadline5, until it was removed in https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=980504 and libedit2 made an drop-in replacement.
Could we please change the default keybindings in Debian libedit2 itself, instead of having to do same as having to create following ~/.editrc for all users on all systems in order for seamless transition? bind "^W" ed-delete-prev-word bind "^_" vi-undo Those two would at least (mostly) restore behaviour of two most missing/changed features. -- Opinions above are GNU-copylefted.
