[Help-bash] vim mode changes

[Chadwick Rogers]

I found this old thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/help-bash/2016-11/msg00004.html

But my scenario is slightly different.  Run bash in vi-mode, type "echo
hello world", press enter, press up arrow on your keyboard, press the home
key to jump to the beginning of the line followed by the right arrow to the
end of 'hello' or press the left arrow to the end of 'hello', press ctrl+w,
the word will not delete.  Go back to the end of the line, press ctrl+w
three times and deleting works fine all the way to the beginning of the
line.  Adding "set bind-tty-special-chars off" to my inputrc has no effect
on this.

Any help would be appreciated.
