Ctrl-
W, the
key sequence used to delete a
word at a time in many
UNIX environments. Strangely enough,
tcsh just makes this a
euphemism for
^U, and many programs don't even bother to
implement it. Too bad, since it's really
useful. At least
tinyfugue uses it, and some people
grok its meaning.
Mostly, it's useful for showing "accidental" long sections of text which need to be deleted without having a buttload of ^Hs.
A lot of fucking idiots^W^WWindows l^Husers could do to fuck off and die^W^W^W^Wlearn more about UNIX.
