Hello Ian, my apologies, I'm still learning english;) >> Currently it seems that the cygwin terminal sends ^H (ASCII BS, 0x08) >> for backspace, and the VT220 Remove escape sequence (\E[3~, 0x1B5B337E) >> for Delete.

This is how I've always configured > # "\C-h": backward-delete-char > # "\C-?": backward-delete-char At least I found the Bash builtin bind: bind -u backward-delete-char removes all bindings for the Backspace key so you can define ^H yourself with another Function.
