> 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.
