Don't put too much weight on my choice of <C-T> for b-k-s-word. It's
not my preferred choice for b-k-s-word, it's simply the chord I always
use for testing widgets.
As to the general issue, I'd consider some more systematic approach. Vi
has its operators; you could have something similar by having a "prefix
key" that chooses the word style: e.g., <C-T><w> or <C-T><C-W> would
"delete a shell word backwards", <C-Y><w> or <C-Y><C-W> would "delete
a whitespace-separated word backwards", and plain <C-W> would delete
a default-styled word backwards.
And of course a NUMERIC could be prepended to any of those, just as with
vi operators.
How does emacs handle this issue? Does emacs have different chords for
different kinds of "delete a word backwards"?
