I think this broke the vi edit so that now you can not go back a whole word
with the B (that is capital B) character in command mode:

Example:
(ksh, vi edit mode)

Typing in a path, like "/some/thing/some/where":
$ ls /some/thing/some/where
If you press ESC, and at the start you press the lower case 'w', then it will
jump to the '/' characters, but if you press the capital 'W', it will jump to
the <space> characters, so it jumps whole words (just like in vi :). But the
opposite version with the capital 'B' character is not working anymore; it
acts like if you pressed the lower case 'b', so it won't jump back to <space>
characters, only to '/' characters.

Is this the intended functioning? (I hope not :( )
