This is due to the way Konsole sends the key to the terminal. For some reason
Konsole sends it as Ctrl+H which is equivalent to a normal Backspace. Your
shell (likely bash) is then responsible for deciding what to do with that
sequence - this is not something Konsole can decide but rather you shell's key
bindings
