I am in one directory with long hierarchy. I want to go down the hierarchy to some other path. Keep pressing the backspace button is cumbursome. How do I set the key so that c-backspace or Alt-backspace deletes the word in the minibuffer??? I am sure I was it's possible because i had this setting in my last company. But I can't remember exactly what this setup was!!! Any help will be appreciated!! Arvind Kumar
