Win11

What issue are you seeing?

SHIFT + BACKSPACE / CTRL + BACKSPACE not working on Windows

At the same time as a recent change on your end which disabled CTRL + ENTER, and now only allows SHIFT + ENTER for newline, you also broke erasing. So now SHIFT + BACKSPACE is not allowed, nor CTRL + BACKSPACE. You still require ALT + BACKSPACE to erase a word.

It's like you partially shifted from Linux inputs to OS-inputs, but only for part of the inputs. And on top of that, you nuked previously supported hotkeys. SHIFT + BACKSPACE should not SOAK the backspace, it should at least let it through. The same for CTRL + BACKSPACE.

The same for DELETE.

What steps can reproduce the bug?

I'm sure you'll figure it out

What is the expected behavior?

For SHIFT + BACKSPACE to erase.
For CTRL + BACKSPACE to erase.

Ideally CTRL + BACKSPACE should erase the entire word like on any text input field on Windows, including CMD.
But it should NOT absorb and invalidate the backspace usage.

The same for DELETE.
