Different control sequence for Backspace and Ctrl+Backspace
Opened this issue · 6 comments
It would be very nice to be able to define an alternative control sequence for Ctrl-backspace (as urxvt does). I'm not sure if it's a limitation of vte or not.
I made a quick googling but still not sure what Ctrl-backspace really does in an urxvt.
vte could send strings to its console, but I have not tried feeding control sequence though.
Which control sequence urxvt sends is not important (urxvt is inconsistent in this aspect anyway), the important fact is only that it sends one that is different than backspace.
So you want Ctrl-backspace to send backspace in (evil)vte?
That's the current behavior, and that's precisely what I don't want !
Let me show you why I want it. Here is what I have in my .zshrc :
bindkey "^[[3;5~" kill-word # ctrl+delete delete a whole wordI would like to add
bindkey "SOMETHING" backward-delete-word
with SOMETHING being a control sequence returned when I press Ctrl+backspace.
I would like alt+backspace too, btw ;)
Ah, I see.
Your feature request is in my TODO list now, but I have not touched evilvte code for quite some time...:-P
nice, thanks.
