Hi bug-bash,

(Please CC me, I am not subscribed)

In the man page for bash, there is the following section:

> kill-word (M-d)
>        Kill from point to the end of the current word, or if
>        between words, to the end of the next word.  Word boundaries
>        are the same as those used by forward-word.
> backward-kill-word (M-Rubout)
>        Kill the word behind point.  Word boundaries are the same
>        as those used by backward-word.
> shell-kill-word (M-d)
>        Kill from point to the end of the current word, or if
>        between words, to the end of the next word.  Word boundaries
>        are the same as those used by shell-forward-word.
> shell-backward-kill-word (M-Rubout)
>        Kill the word behind point.  Word boundaries are the same
>        as those used by shell-backward-word.

As you can see kill-word and shell-kill-word are documented to have the
same default binding, as do backward-kill-word and
shell-backward-kill-word. But AFAIK, shell-{,back}kill-word aren't bound
by default. Is this just a 'copy-paste' oversight or am I missing something?

Thanks,
Oliver Hartley
