py-hungry-delete-backwards is broken

[Boris Kheyfets]

<C-backspace> is binded to py-hungry-delete-backwards and, as far as I understand - it should delete the whole word or subword backward. While currently it deletes only a single char.

[Boris Kheyfets (kheyfboris)]

Mean while the following solves it:

(add-hook 'python-mode-hook (lambda ()
                                       (define-key python-mode-map (kbd "<C-backspace>") 'subword-backward-kill)
                              ))

[Andreas Roehler (a-roehler)]

docstring says:

Delete the preceding character or all preceding whitespace
back to the previous non-whitespace character.

i.e. it's hungry at whitespaces only

you may write a feature request for subword-backward-kill BTW

closing this as invalid,

cheers,

Andreas

Ok. Sorry - I should have read the doc-string my self.

No need for a feature-request I think - since it is easy achieved as an add-hook.
