Ctrl+H performs entire word rubout when expected behavior is character rubout.

System: Arch Linux (x86_64)

In issue #44 (now closed) you state that you're purposefully interpreting Ctrl+H as Ctrl+Backspace. This breaks default functionality for unix-like systems at the command line, where ^H is, afaik, always set to backspace, i.e. character delete, and never to werase, i.e. word delete, the default bind of which would be ^W (which works as expected).

This makes what seems to be an otherwise excellent typing test program into an unfortunately rather unusable one for anyone well accustomed to using the baked in unix control characters like, as is the case in this instance, ^H.
