Problems with special characters input in prompt (Del, Backspace, etc.)

[KevCui]

• Use script to load images
• Enter monocle mode with [m] and type some characters in exec prompt.
• Type 'Delete' or 'Backspace' key won't remove inputted letters

Backspace should be working. I forgot about delete. I will add it in the next commit.

@KevCui I believe is works as expected now. Tell me if you still have problems.

I suspected the problem may have to do with the terminal being used. xterm was working for me. I checked on some other terminals and the Backspace issue is there. Del works though. I will work on it

[ckardaris]

I think the issue is resolved. Tell me if I got it right this time

[KevCui]

Thanks for the fix. I checked the latest commit:

• In alacritty, both delete and backspace are working well
• In st, backspace works but delete is not working

(For me, backspace is necessary. Usually, I don't bother to use delete. Thanks for the effort!)

NOTE

I should use this issue to fix problems relating to the input of other characters as well, i.e. Home and End keys, and also future requests for characters I have forgotten about.
That's why I am renaming it to something a bit more general and I won't be closing it just yet.

Any other input issues in the prompt should be discussed here.
