title: What is terminal key code for Ctrl+Backspace
body: <p>I'm trying to find <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Backspace</kbd> terminal keycode to make it delete whole words in shell.</p>
  
  <p>While it is explained how to get those codes for <kbd>arrows</kbd>, <kbd>Home</kbd>, <kbd>Del</kbd> and such keys with <code>cat</code> or <code>od</code> commands:</p>

  I can't find a way to get <kbd>Ctrl</kbd>+<kbd>Backpace</kbd> code.</p>
