What's Wrong?

Now Ctrl-d (twice) no longer exits claude, great!

But now Ctrl-b is no longer backspace like it used to be. Non-destructive backspace.

bash prompt defaults to emacs control keys:
c-d delete char
c-b backspace
c-f forward
c-a beginning of line
c-e end of line
c-k kill to end of line
c-w delete word backwards
etc

It would be nice to retain those for those of us used to them. Thanks!
