    Konsole delete word

To map shortcuts like Ctrl+Bksp/Del to delete words backwards and forwards in Konsole:

Go to Settings > Edit Current Profile... > Keyboard > Edit...`
Edit (or add) the following key combos if they don't already exist:


Key Combination
Output
(Explanation)


Backspace-Ctrl
\x7f
Backspace without Ctrl should just delete the character before the cursor


Backspace+Ctrl
\E\b
Backspace with Ctrl should delete the word before the cursor. ^H should be encoded as \x08 (ascii control character code in hex) but Konsole converts that to \b, it's code for backspace.
