Putting on Debian 8.3
stty werase '^H'
or on Arch Linux 2/2016
stty werase '^?'
in
.bashrc
(for example) makes Ctrl-Backspace delete the last word in the terminal. Still it's not the same behavior as in modern GUI applications (e.g. Firefox): It deletes the last ***whitespace***-separated word, and not the last word separated by whitespace ***or*** characters like . : , ; " ' & / ( )
.
Is it possible to make Ctrl-Backspace behave in the terminal similar to modern GUI applications? Also, is there any way to make Ctrl-Delete delete the word immediately before the cursor?
