Start TC. F7 (make dir) anywhere. Write something and then press Ctrl+Bksp. You'll see 0x7F char for each Ctrl+Bksp.
2.
Start TC. Shift+F6 (rename) any file. Try Ctrl+Bksp. Nothing happens.
3.
Start Explorer. Rename any file. Try Ctrl+Bksp. You'll see 0x7F char for each Ctrl+Bksp.
Is that bug or feature?
Why does it happen so diffrent?

I guess MaxX expects TC to delete up to the next word boundary (space, period, backslash etc.) as TC actually does in the command line and the location bar.
But on the other hand - if I press Ctrl+backspace in for example Notepad I get the same non usable characters.
I looked around in TC - Ctrl+backspace for deleting to word boundary is supported some places and not otheres. For example is it also supported in the F5 and F6 dialog.
It looks like most editing fields in TC that are path aware (suggests paths as you write) supports Ctrl+backspace, even if "Auto-complete paths" is deselected - otherwise it is generally not supported.

Yes, but try editing the location bar in top of Explorer - here Ctrl+backspace is supported (as in TC's location bar)Start Explorer. Rename any file. Try Ctrl+Bksp. You'll see 0x7F char for each Ctrl+Bksp.

So it's a "default feature" when implementing a standard Windows edit control in a program, but on the other hand you're on your own to make it actually work. Therefore many programs (or program parts) fail to do so.
And I agree: while I heard about that key combination some time ago, I never used it or even expected it to work at all.
