* CTRL-backspace: use CTRL-W (except not really because tokenization is different)
* CTRL-C: use CTRL-SHIFT-C
* CTRL-V: use CTRL-SHIFT-V
* etc...
Is there a terminal project out there that attempts to fix this madness by using standard system shortcuts for text input, and remaps the useful terminal shortcuts to other key combinations (like CTRL-C, I sill want to send SIGTERMS obviously).
And ctrl-backspace can similarly be conf though in your shell not the terminal.
