----------------------------------------------

             Summary: in CLI, ctrl-W erases entire line like ctrl-U - but should only erase to beginning of current word
                 Key: ASTERISK-26175
                 URL: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-26175
             Project: Asterisk
          Issue Type: Improvement
      Security Level: None
    Affects Versions: 13.8.0
         Environment: all that I've ever used on every version of Asterisk.
            Reporter: Stephen J Alexander
            Severity: Trivial


in the CLI, ctrl-W erases line like ctrl-U. Standard command line shell behavior is for ^W to erase back to beginning of current word only (bash, tcsh, zsh etc all implement this).

This is a big usability issue for people who do a lot of command line work. It would be good to implement this corrected ^W behavior in Asterisk CLI.
