I don't know about the old knob and not aware of any UI to do this. But
you can achieve what you want by creating a new Gtk key theme:
As root:
# cd /usr/share/themes
# cp -r Default MyKeys
and put the following in the "MyKeys/gtk-3.0/gtk-keys.css"
@binding-set mykeys
{
bind "<ctrl>w" { "delete-from-cursor" (word-ends, -1) };
}
GtkEntry, GtkTextView {
gtk-key-bindings: mykeys;
}
Then run as a normal user
$ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface gtk-key-theme MyKeys
This affects all applications using gtk-widgets (Overview is NOT).
Hmmmmm....surely not very end-user friendly...but feature-rich, allowing
for more possibilities...
PS: "gnome-tweak-tool, Typing" has some extra tweaks towards
keyboard/typing, which might be useful.
