Windows Subsystem Linux (WSL) don't catch ctrl+backspace with power shell

Question

I use Windows Subsystem Linux (WSL) under Windows 10 via power shell.

It don't catch ctrl+backspace? (it just backspace) while powershell correctly catch it if I use some other commands, not in linux.

Use any terminal emulator in Windows, for example, cmder, conemu, wsltty etc. — Biswapriyo, Aug 2, 2019 at 13:02

In Linux you must type Alt+Backspace to achieve the same effect that Ctrl+Backspace in Windows terminals.

Well, I haven't found any official documentation, but this answer talks about the relationship between bash and emacs. unix.stackexchange.com/a/307732/147871
