Martin Malina commented on JBIDE-23269:
---------------------------------------

To put this in context with how important this is for cdk - there is an ongoing discussion whether or not we'll be using landrush for CDK 2.3. If we do, then this is a higher priority, since it's unlikely that backspace works for entering the sudo password either.
If we don't use landrush in cdk 2.3, then this is a lower priority - you can see opt to enter your credentials in the console, but nobody really has a reason to do this.

> 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.
