I believe this is a default KeyHandler, but ESC-Backspace is no longer working for me. The other handlers using Escape all seem to work (ESC-u and ESC-l to upper/lowercase a word, ESC-b and ESC-f to move forward/backword by word, ESC-d to forward kill a word, etc.). But ESC-Backspace just does ... nothing.
I set a new handler for 'Escape,Delete' to do a BackwardKillWord and that works, so it seems the problem is something with my Escape key.
My backspace in a normal terminal sends a Ctrl-H. It's been that way for years, but this stopped working a couple months ago.
Expected behavior
Pressing Escape,Backspace should delete the word before the current cursor location.
Actual behavior
Nothing happens.
Error details
No error is produced.
