Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Ctrl-W deletes a whitespace-delimited WORD in vim mode

Use it now
Useful4 Signal1
Terminal UI

In vim mode, Ctrl-W now deletes a whole whitespace-delimited WORD as vim does.

What

The kill-word-before binding now chooses between deleting back to the previous word boundary and deleting a full whitespace-delimited WORD, depending on the editing mode, matching vim's WORD semantics.

Details
  • Selects deleteWORDBefore() instead of deleteWordBefore() based on a mode flag.
Evidence

deleteWORDBefore

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
