I am using the msyql-client, and I open a mysql prompt on a terminal via:

```
$ mysql -h localhost -uuser -ppassword
mysql> 

```

I use the msql client version:

```
Ver 14.14 Distrib 5.7.17, for Linux (x86_64) using  EditLine wrapper

```

For terminals with emacs-like bindings, I have a very strong muscle memory to use

`Ctrl` + `W`

to delete the last word. Yet inside the mysql client, it deletes back to the start of the line and hence it's hard for me to write or adapt queries.

Can I rebind the keyboard shortcuts for mysql client and, if so, how? I know that I can use Alt + Backspace instead, yet I want to keep my usage consistent.
