Keys backspace and ctrl-backspace should be received with different codes in WeeChat (if not, as Mantas said, the terminal is guilty, not WeeChat).

For example, with command `showkey -a`:

$ showkey -a

Press any keys - Ctrl-D will terminate this program

^?         127 0177 0x7f        <-- pressed: backspace
^H           8 0010 0x08        <-- pressed: ctrl+backspace


If you have this, you can then bind `ctrl-H` for ctrl + backspace.

Closing the issue as invalid.

Not a Weechat bug. Some terminals (especially vte) simply do not send different key codes for Bksp and Ctrl+Bksp, and [afaik] there is nothing Weechat, as a terminal program, can do about this.

Alt+K then Ctrl+Bksp gives Ctrl+?, same as just Bksp, therefore it is impossible to bind Ctrl+Bksp to something else (e.g. erase-last-word).
