This function merges the functionality of `evil-delete-backward-word` and `kill-region`. Which is called depends on whether a region is active or not. This is the perfect `C-w` binding (for me).

Better Defaults contribution layer for Spacemacs
Table of Contents TOC@4
Description
This layer enhances the default commands of Emacs and is primarily intended to
be used with the emacs
editing style as it does not change anything in the Vim
key bindings.
However the emacs
editing style is not required, you can still use this layer
while you are using the vim
editing style if you have some kind of mixed
style.
The commands defined in this layer are taken from various sources like Prelude.
Install
To use this contribution add it to your ~/.spacemacs
