Sun 06 Oct 2019 10:17:48 AM UTC, comment #3: The kbs=^H shows that your Backspace key produces a literal ^H (0x08) and thus ncurses translates this to the KEY_BACKSPACE code. Thus typing an actual Ctrl+H also gets translated to KEY_BACKSPACE by ncurses. Nano never sees the 0x08, so this code cannot be rebound.
