Thanks. With a bit of deduction from your post, I just figured out why ^H is backspace.

  And ^W deletes words. Both shortcuts work in terminal emulators. (As an aside ^W is much easier to input^Wtype as a "fake backspace" thingamajig^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hmnemonic than ^H is.)

    i didnt realize that ^W did words (and i didnt know what "ETB" was either). But thats a useful one to know!
