RE: ctrl-backspace and wjed

[John Skilleter <John.Skilleter@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Greetings,

I fixed this and the other combinations of shift/alt/control plus backspace a long while ago and sent a patch to John E. Davis, but it didn't make it into v0.99.15 for some reason.

A diff between the 0.99.15 code is below (I've done other things to wterm.c as well, but this is the only relevent bit).

What code are you expecting to see?

I'm currently fixing wjed keyboard code and might as well fix this ;)
