Bash tends to use libreadline for commandline input, so you can create an inputrc file that lets you control what keystrokes do what. man readline 3
should explain the format, you can also find this in the READLINE section of bash's manpage (the specific command you want is kill-word
)
zsh doesn't use libreadline apparently, but it seems they've mimicked a lot of the functionality. It looks like there are some options to mimic bash's word matching, but you'll need to bind them to a key.
