Is it possible to have support for the bash shortcuts when in terminal? I.e. Ctrl-w, Ctrl-a, Ctrl-e, Ctrl-k, etc?

I discovered that Ctrl-w closes completely the browser tab instead of deleting the last word, as I had expected.

That's possible, file client/modules/terminal.js should be edited for this purpose, it can be something like this on show:

window.addEventListener('keydown', (e) => {
    const W = 87; 
    if (e.ctrlKey && e.keyCode === W)
        e.preventDefault();
});

And window.removeEventListener('keydown') on hide.

Also preventDefault can be added to client/key/index.js and addW to client/key/key.js.

Closed due to inability to handle Ctrl + W with help of preventDefault. Could be revised when xterm will have ability to remap keys in xtermjs/xterm.js#487 (comment).
