Not for me in 1.5.0.4 on Windows. Maybe because ^W has no historical
connection with this operating system. It doesn't cause me any problems; I
wouldn't expect ^H to delete a character (that gets you the history window),
nor would I expect ^A to take me to the start of a line (that's what the
"Home" key is for, in the context of a text box.)
