I have both MKS and cygwin. The following command: export TERM=cygwin
fixed backspace issue.
Before:
$ env |grep TERM
TERM=nutc
TERMCAP=C:\PROGRA~1\MKSTOO~1\etc\termcap
TERMINFO=C:\PROGRA~1\MKSTOO~1\usr\lib\terminfo
After:
$ env |grep TERM
TERM=cygwin
TERMCAP=C:\PROGRA~1\MKSTOO~1\etc\termcap
TERMINFO=C:\PROGRA~1\MKSTOO~1\usr\lib\terminfo
