Re: bash won't let me bind \C-w

Thank you for the magic fix: set bind-tty-special-chars Off

bash won't let me bind \C-w

bash-4.0$ a () { bind '"\C-w": unix-filename-rubout'; } bash-4.0$ b () { bind -p | grep 'unix.*rubout'; } bash-4.0$ a; b "\C-w": unix-filename-rubout # unix-word-rubout (not bound) bash-4.0$ b # unix-filename-rubout (not bound) "\C-w": unix-word-rubout bash-4.0$ Same in bash-3.2.
