Hi Benno,

Thanks for checking in! I had some problems with my computer the past week,
so couldn't check.

Yes, I am now running 4.9.
It is behaving like you described: Ctrl+H and Backspace are equivalent when
running `nano` and they both do 'backspace', regardless of the binding of
^H. However, running `nano -K` behaves correctly, namely ^H replaces and
backspace erases. As for running without mouse support, that's OK, I never
used mouse to click somewhere. And scrolling the mouse still moves the
cursor in nano, so that's great.

It seems the Sakura emulator is correct, this is what I'm getting:
infocmp| grep -o kbs=..
kbs=^H

So, is this a bug that I should file with iTerm2 ? The behaviour is the
same in the built-in Terminal app, though I don't have any hope of getting
that changed.

Many thanks for your help!
Happy Easter !

Ciprian
