 I can tell you  how it is in bash. Bash has two actions.

 backward-kill-word: This does what I had proposed. Kill a previous word till it reaches a metachar (non-alphanumeric).

 unix-word-rubout: This deletes the previous characters till it encounters a space.

 So I think in kill-word-back, it should be alnum. *If YOU want* you can implement a 'unix-word-rubout' too, but that's not really needed. I personally dislike the concept of 'unix-word-rubout'. Especially when you type in a url, you would want to remove the last directory, and not the entire string.

 So I presonally would prefer kill-word-back to use '!isalnum' rather than 'isspace'. So yes, just replacing isspace, with !isalnum should fix it.

 Thanks a lot.
