Ctrl-w in insert mode doesn't delete the word

[ananthp]

Summary

In vim, while typing in insert mode, one can press Ctrl-w to erase the last typed word without leaving insert mode. This is not implemented in jupyter-vim-binding.

(CTRL-w is typically closes the current browser tab).

Environment

• Operating system : Ubuntu 17.10 (Gnome)
• Web browser : Firefox 59.0.2
• Jupyter Notebook : 5.4.1
• jupyter-vim-binding : v2.1.0

Hi, I am able use ctrl+w/n (in chrome) by using gnome-tweak-tool, goto tab keyboard and mouse, set key theme to emacs(yes. not vim). This is by no means a fix, just a workaround for the browser limitation. Hopes this can help.

Tested on
Ubuntu 16.04
Chrome 64bit ver. 67
Jupyter 5.5.0
