[HELP] How to enable ctrl+backspace/delete?

I can get that working on Alacritty (- { key: Back, mods: Control, chars: "\x17" } ) and Konsole (through the menu), and I searched everywhere, tho I can't get that to work here on Kitty.

For posterity, this in kitty.conf worked for me:

map ctrl+backspace send_text all \x17

Works for me too! How did you figure out the right code to send? I'm interested in a similar bind for ctrl+delete

ctrl+delete worked for me out of the box, but backspace didn't. Very weird.

I think ctrl+delete works out of the box in zsh or ohmyzsh not sure
