Originally created by @DarthJahus on GitHub (May 20, 2020).

Actually (Terminal 1.0.1401.0), if you use CTRL+LEFT or CTRL+LEFT, you correctly move between words. However, CTRL+BACKSPACE does not delete the previous word, even though CTRL+DEL does delete the next word.

Since the latter is implemented, it would be great (and more useful) to implement CTRL+BACKSPACE.

Odly, CMD.exe has CTRL+BACKSPACE but doesn't support CTRL+DEL 😄.

Thank you.
