Subject: Emulating vim's Ctrl-W behavior
Date: Fri, 4 Oct 2013 14:20:57 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CA+6di1m1XWgdrCaKWuQzsHcrzONdrSLkTFnGcxZYzv2uriX6WQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Zsh likes to nuke my pipes when I delete backwards. For example, if I have
the line...
echo a | grep
...and I press Ctrl-W twice, then what I'd like to have (and what vim and
bash give me) is...
echo a
But zsh doesn't seem to count the pipe as a word, and the second Ctrl-W
plows through it and deletes the "a". Is there any way to configure zsh to
get vim's behavior? And related, is there a way to delete backwards to the
next slash in a path, as Ctrl-W does in vim, rather than deleting the whole
path? Thanks very much.
