Alt+Backspace does not work in dvtm #59

Hi, Alt+Backspace (delete word backwards) in bash, does not work with dvtm. I'm using mate-terminal + abduco + dvtm. (I know I can still use Ctrl+w, but I wonder why the specific keybinding does not work anymore) Thanks.

Alt + Backspace is the same as Control + [ then Backspace. And Control + [ is `Escape.

So If I go fast enough, I can do Alt + Backspace with Escape and immediately Backspace.

Can you as well ?

moyiz commented 7 years ago

Yes, both ways work.

Same problem here. Alt + Backspace is a no-go, Escape -> Backspace works. This fix seems to not have worked. Either that, or there has been a regression since.
