I miss it - sort of - in the sense that I use this functionality regularly.

The two terminal emulators I use most (PuTTY, and the old VT320e from 
the Multia era) use <Shift/+ for "delete word", and I got used to this 
option.

Don't remember whether this also works with a keyboard directly 
connected to an Alpha or to a "real" VT terminal, i.e. whether it's 
built into EVE or into the terminal emulators.

Hans.
