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.

I don't mean to detract from your point, but bash does in fact have undo! It's the same as emacs', which is to say, fairly odd but almost mnemonic: ^_

Well, that'll save me some headaches next time I'm forced to use bash. Thanks! I guess I should've googled it… But XPrompt *doesn't* have undo, so I'd still love to see some sort of delimiting ^W on something else than just whitespace. Cheers, Aleks
