The backspace key isn't working in the integrated console on Linux and macOS. This is likely a simple issue, just needs to be investigated.

In the meantime, a workaround is to press Ctrl+H to emulate backspace.

I'm seeing this issue on Ubuntu 16.10 with VSCode 1.10.2, PowerShell extension 0.10.1, and PowerShell 6.0.0 alpha 17. Keyboard layout is United Kingdom English.

As indicated above, ctrl-H does backspace. Shift-Backspace also works. Both result in "^H" appearing on-screen briefly before the backspace occurs.

I've got a fix in progress for this but it may take a few more days to fully validate it. Should fix all of the key handling issues and the ^H printing issue.

This change uses a new strategy for providing a quasi-async
Console.ReadKey implementation so that key handling works better on Linux
and macOS.  This should eliminate issues where keys and escape sequences
were being echoed incorrectly.  It should also eliminate the issue where
the backspace key is unusable on these platforms.
