:> What do people think of adding this to the default .cshrc
:>
:> bindkey ^W backward-delete-word
:
:YUCK!!
:
:> This makes input more consistent with the standard tty driver.
:> Instead of deleting the entire line, ^W just deletes the previous word.
:> I always end up having to do this.

:Control W is supposed to delete the line. At least, that's how it's
:been for me, but I've been using tcsh since before FreeBSD. :)

Heh heh. I'm used to ^W deleting a word. Having it delete a whole line
is kinda useless, there are a thousand other ways to do that (like
hitting ^C, for example). I always hate it when ^W in tcsh deletes the
line but ^W in the tty line driver (type 'cat' or 'csh' and mess around
with ^W) deletes only a word.
I presume nobody has any complaints about putting the history bindings
in:
bindkey -k up history-search-backward
bindkey -k down history-search-forward
