I just reported the following on https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.c
gi?id=1477328:
"""
Description of problem:
Ctrl-w now stops at word-breaking characters rather than spaces as it's
done for a very long time.
Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):readline-
7.0-5.fc26.x86_64
How reproducible:
always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. set -o vi
2. ls /etc/hosts.allow^w
Actual results:
Only "allow" is erased in F26.
Expected results:
With F25 and prior the entire path would be erased.
Additional info:
- Only vi mode seems affected.
- I can bind vi-unix-word-rubout to keys other than ctrl-w and get the
expected behavior but I can't seem to even kludge ctrl-w into the old
behavior, including tricks like "stty werase 00".
- "bind -p" shows the correct mapping."""
I'm guessing this is related to the readline-7.0 release and see in the
changelog the following:
m. The default binding for ^W in vi mode now uses word boundaries
specified by Posix (vi-unix-word-rubout is bindable command name).
I suspect that's a huge hint, but I know what to make of it. I can
successfully bind ctrl-w to vi-unix-word-rubout but I don't get the old
behavior. Is there an older command name that I should be binding to
instead?
Please help. My muscle memory is cramping up bad.
