Description

> Backspace combinations are captured but not properly triggered within the terminal. Ie. Shift-backspace can be mapped, but it will just trigger backspace.

Created as a separate issue as the path on this one is slightly different.

Research direction

Start by tracing the terminal key-event handling and reproduce a mapped Shift-backspace press. Compare it with an ordinary backspace event and verify that combinations are dispatched distinctly when the fix is complete.
