Pressing Ctrl + H key triggers backspace #767

I'm trying to map hidden! to ctrl + h so that I can toggle hidden files on and off as there is quite a lot to scroll through without.

Unfortunately, unlike most of the other mappings which seem to work fine, specifically ctrl + h, and in the lfrc map <c-h> set hidden! (the set term may not be necessary), the output is unknown mapping: <backspace>, when it should at least say unknown mapping: <c-h>.

I believe that this is actually caused by my terminal, Alacritty, confusing ctrl + h and ctrl + backspace and believing they are the same. As an aside, I adore lf and very much appreciate all of the work you've put into it!

@Dhamma-valence Note, this may not be specific to alacritty as most terminals map <c-h> to <backspace> for historical reasons.
