Description
**Context**
---
I have successfully created following key-bindings:
- Ctrl+Delete to `kill-word` (i.e., delete from cursor to the end of next word),
- Ctrl+Shift+Delete to `kill-line` (i.e., delete from cursor to the end of the line),
- Ctrl+Backspace to `backward-kill-word` (i.e., delete from cursor to the beginning of previous word).
I want now to bind Ctrl+Shift+Backspace to `backward-kill-line` (i.e., delete from cursor to the beginning of the line).
**Problem**
---
Ctrl+Backspace and Ctrl+Shift+Backspace emit the same character.
Indeed:
- Ctrl+C Ctrl+Backspace prints `^H`
- Ctrl+C Ctrl+Shift+Backspace prints `^H`
I think it should emits another character, just like:
- Ctrl+C Ctrl+Delete prints `^[[3;5~`
- Ctrl+C Ctrl+Shift+Delete prints `^[[3;6~`
