thanks, that's the command that works. is there a way to overwrite the command of C-w? If I change it to C-w:..., the default behaviour of deleting to the next space still kicks in. On a different key (like F) if works fine.

I don't think ctrl-w is managed by the shell alone. It may be managed by the tty also. What are your tty setting shown by stty -a? do you have control-w as default char for werase? If you remove that setting from tty, with comman stty werase undef, does then bash works as expected?
