When I delete a "word" in Bash, it will stop at certain characters like _
and /
. For example, if I type
/foo/bar
and activate backward-kill-word
(typically mapped to Alt-Backspace and/or Ctrl-w), the remaining text is
/foo/
. This does not correspond to $COMP_WORDBREAKS
or readline
's rl_completer_word_break_characters
. How can I detect (preferably in a running system, rather than the defaults in the code, since they presumably can be overridden) which characters are used to determine word breaks?
