Would it ever be possible to change the backspace behavior? Currently it sends ctrl-h, which can be problematic in some apps (ssh, vim, etc). Or maybe there is a workaround?

Seems this affects powershell as well, https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34566111/how-to-backspace-or-delete

Good day

In case someone comes across this default behavior that can be quite unfortunate/annoying for GNU/Linux users: https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/issues/5957#issuecomment-901122778

(That works much better than limited workarounds like stty erase '^?'.)
