Hi I'm unable to revert the 'usual' behavior I had on Debian 10 where something like test.something.else would be considered as three words when using alt+b and alt+f (or ctrl+left and ctrl+right)
I don't know which versions of readline are running on Debian 10 and 11, but readline has always determined word characters by whether or not they belong to the `alpha' character class, so this behavior is expected.
on Debian 11, clients that use readline (for example the mariadb client) threat test.something.else as a single word.
I'd file a report with Debian to see what, if anything, they changed.
It might be something as unrelated as a locale char class difference.
I can't reproduce this using the examples shipped with readline-8.2.
