Vim in insert mode acts like Emacs if you hit ^W, which, I think is more relevant here, since you're in "insert mode" when using XPrompt (just like when you use ex-mode in Vim after hitting ':') and there's no "command mode."
Ah, good to know.
As others have said, dropping in a parameter for isSpace would be nice, or at least making it something like:
liftM2 (||) isSpace (=='/')
One of my reasons for switching to zsh was that when I had punched in a long path and made a mistake in the last segment of it, I might hit ^W, but then bash deletes the entire path with no possibility of undo! zsh only deletes up to the '/', which I prefer greatly.
Hah, I use zsh but have always been annoyed how it deletes a whole path when I do backwards-kill-word! So I did a bit of googling and discovered the WORDCHARS environment variable. =) In any case, based on the feedback so far I think what I will do is (1) change killWord to have emacs-like behavior (2) add a variant killWordUsingSep which takes a separator predicate as a parameter, to be used instead of isSpace. -Brent
