Terminology: Alt-Backspace doesn't work



Hi all,

my shell is configured to kill one word backwards when Alt-Backspace is
pressed.  In terminology however, Alt-Backspace just deletes the last
character as if only Backspace was pressed.  It seems the shell doesn't
receive the correct key.

E.g., in urxvt or gnome-terminal, Alt-Backspace results in the shell
receiving the key "^[^?".  In terminology, Alt-Backspace gives "^H"
(which is Control-Backspace with urxvt/gnome-terminal).

Is this a known issue or is there some config option that I need to
change?

Bye,
Tassilo
