SUMMARY
Konsole send Ctrl-Backspace to the terminal as Ctrl-H

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Konsole and start cat
2. Press Ctrl-Backspace

OBSERVED RESULT
^H is displayed

EXPECTED RESULT
Nothing should be displayed

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Operating System: Fedora Linux 41
KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.9.0
Qt Version: 6.8.1
Kernel Version: 6.12.4-200.fc41.x86_64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 7840U w/ Radeon 780M Graphics
Memory: 30.6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon 780M

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Using cat is the simplest way to show that something is not quite right here. I am not sure if there is a better program but I initially noticed this as my fish version (4.0beta) binds ctrl-h to backward-delete-char and ctrl-backspace to backward-kill-word. In Konsole it only deletes one char whereas in the integrated terminal of VSCode it properly deletes the fill word.

Hi - I suspect this is intentional behavior based on https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=391075 , but I'm not personally sure of that. In either case, though, merging this with https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=482359 as they appear to be the same underlying situation. Thanks!
