Readline vi-like, what are the keyword character?

I'm trying to use vim everywhere, with quite the same behavior.

In bash, I setup vi-like readline.

But there's a behavior slightly different from vi:

- If I type "ls directory/directory/file.txt", then, still in insert mode, I
type Ctrl^w, it delete the whole second argument
"directory/directory/file.txt".
- If I type again "directory/directory/file.txt", then I go in command mode
and type "db", or "b", it goes backward of only one word, and not the whole
second argument.


Why Ctrl^w doesn't remove only the previous word?

Thanks
