The defaults of ^U and WORDCHARS are by far the most common complaints I=E2=80= =99ve seen from new users.

In which you can just type space or whatever else you would type when you wo= uldn=E2=80=99t be using menu selection. After all, the cursor is still on th= e command line and it will respond as such (with the exception of those key b= indings that are overriding this in the menuselect keymap). But having said t= hat, I=E2=80=99m fine with reverting this change.
