Rob Stryker commented on JBIDE-23269:
-------------------------------------

I spent an hour or two looking into this.  

It seems that even when opening a raw terminal (ie not one i make via API),  backspace and stuff work fine when the terminal opens, and stop working once in vagrant. So... that's awesome. 

I also tried switching our opening from streamsConnector (let the view connect to some streams) to ProcessConnector,  but that didn't result in anything good. It's possible we may need to do it in the future, but so far I've pinged Martin Oberhuber to see if he has any advice.

> Today I tried to disable the SUB_USERNAME variable in cdk launch config so that I can check if entering input into Terminal view works correctly.
> I made a typo and it turns out that pressing backspace prints out ^H.

> This happens on Mac. On Windows it works correctly. I haven't checked linux.
