Alt modifier not send with back space

[accountgit]

Backspace with any modifier always is send as back space.

$ showkey -a
^? 127 0177 0x7f -> alone
^? 127 0177 0x7f -> with ctrl
^? 127 0177 0x7f -> with Alt
^? 127 0177 0x7f -> with ctrl + alt

I have it bound to delete word in bash and only can make it work (one at a time) with Esc + backspace.
Esc + backspace, esc + backspace, esc +backspace,... works.
esc+backspace + backspace+backspace doesnt' work either.

Which terminal emulator have you previously been using?

This is what I see on Konsole:

^?      127 0177 0x7f <- Backspace

^[^?     27 0033 0x1b <- Alt + Backspace
         127 0177 0x7f

^?      127 0177 0x7f <- Ctrl + Backspace
 
^[^?     27 0033 0x1b <- Ctrl + Alt + Backspace
        127 0177 0x7f

Konsole, as you tested.

It is now the same as Konsole and other Gnome VTE terminals with regards to the backspace key.

It will be in the next release, probably later today.
