Just a word of caution for anyone reading this. I highly discourage anyone from actually learning ^w. I learned it, then had to forcefully un-learn it when I kept accidentally closing tabs on my browser, other people's browsers, my file manager, etc. etc. ad nauseam. Don't make the same mistake I did, just press backspace a lot. I know life is short but the sudden rage of having unexpectedly closed a tab is just not worth the added efficiency. I am passionate about this subject; however, I mean no disrespect for those who have (somehow) managed to use ^w productively.
