Using alt+backspace key in vim command line to delete by words

Question

Is there a way to use the alt+backspace in vim command line? It gets unruly when having to backspace /very/long/file/path individually instead of using

Answer 1

If you are at the end of the path you can hit B followed by a dW (case matters). This will jump you to the beginning of the word (ignoring the slashes) and subsequently delete the word (again ignoring the slashes).

Hope this helps.
