    Description

      `Ctrl + Backspace` key combo doesn't work properly in the embedded terminal emulator, which causes backward delete word to no longer work in PowerShell.

       

      Use this command to test key presses in PowerShell:

       

      ```powershell

      [System.Console]::ReadKey($true)

      ```

       

      When using fish shell (WSL2) inside Qt Creator, it is interpreted as `\e[127\;5u`. When using fish shell inside Windows Terminal, it's interpreted as '\b`. Use this command to test key presses in fish shell:

       

      ```fish

      fish_key_reader

      ```
