Scheduling this for after I achieve parity with VSCode features since the terminal in VSCode currently does not implement this.

This may not be possible reliably on Windows, some more details here: microsoft/vscode#30276

Is there plan to fix this issue on windows?

[ZoeyR]

Unfortunately I don't think this can be fixed, at least not on my end. xterm.js is not able to handle the key combo on windows and the same issue affects vscode today.

I think the problem here is within https://github.com/rprichard/winpty not doing the right thing on ctrl+backspace.
