i use this bit contributed by someone on the list (Oliver Kiddle); check
the archives from Mon, Oct. 8 for more info on this:
tcsh-backward-delete-word () {
local WORDCHARS="${WORDCHARS:s#/#}"
zle backward-delete-word
}
i have it bound to control-W with:
bindkey '^W' tcsh-backward-delete-word
but you can change that obviously.
i think that's what you're looking for, no?
the '$WORDCHARS' variable is how zsh determines word boundaries so you
could add '/' to that globally, however this might affect other things
you want to leave it for, so i prefer this function.
