Comment:
This is not actually possible given standard keyboard input. as best i
know even xinput and complex input systems can't do this, so i have to
mark this as "wontfix". the ONLY way todo this is to go to every toolkit
and extend it with a "delete previous word" command that is reliably
accessible for an input system (qt, gtk, efl etc.) and that's not going to
be a happening thing any time in the near future (as i either need to
ASSUME some ctonrol-key sequence like ctl+shift+w or something, or a
special keycode mapped to a special keysym or need to look at a full input
method handler like scim/uim etc.). :(
