[dev] [st][PATCH] Consistent Alt+BackSpace behavior

From: Alive 4ever <alive4ever_AT_live.com>
Date: Sun, 10 Jul 2016 06:38:04 +0000

The default config specifies BackSpace as "\177". The default behavior
should persist across modifier keys, commonly Mod1 (Alt or Meta) which
is widely used to delete a word on readline and text editors, notably
Emacs.

This will make Alt+BackSpace behaves as expected, i.e. sends "\033\177"
instead of "\033\010" as previous default behavior.
